A new model of fine sediment transport for the Fraser River / B.G. Krishnappan. : En13-5/97-51E-PDF
"A new model is proposed for the transport of fine sediment in the Fraser River. The model is based on empirical relationships developed from laboratory experiments in a rotating circular flume using Fraser River sediment. The model takes into account the differences in the critical conditions for erosion and deposition of fine sediment and allows simultaneous erosion and deposition to occur only for a limited range of bed shear stresses. For bed shear stresses outside of this range, either erosion or deposition is allowed reflecting the cohesive nature of the Fraser River sediment. The model can easily be incorporated into existing models of Contaminant transport, fate and bioaccumulation"--Abstract.
