Progressively, more dredged sediments are being reused for engineering projects. For example, the Marker Wadden is a new wetland constructed in lake Markermeer, Netherlands, with cohesive originating from bed of lake. Such often dominated by sediment particles varying amounts sand and organic matter. In addition, during after construction process, material consolidates compressed very loose sta...

Fine-grained cohesive sediment is the primary vector for nutrient and contaminant redistribution through aquatic systems a critical indicator of land disturbance. A limitation most existing transport models that they assume characteristics fine can be described using same approaches are used coarse-grained non-cohesive sediment, thereby ignoring tendency to flocculate. Here, modelling framework...

Fractionation of particles in deep-water sediment gravity flows is an important factor the resulting deposit and for discriminating sedimentary environments, but remains poorly understood. Quantitative characterization particle shape was performed more than ten-thousand experimental flow experiments (both cohesive non-cohesive nature) made using coal kaolin particles. Eleven parameters were cal...
