Experiments on the Transformation of Mud Flocs in Turbulent Suspensions
This dissertation aims to better understand how floc aggregate characteristics and behaviors are modified under different local conditions and how such alterations impact the floc settling velocity, which is one of the most crucial parameters influencing sediment transport modeling. A series of …

Vertical Transport of Sediment from Muddy Buoyant River Plumes in the Presence of Different Modes of Interfacial Instabilities
… than that expected from individual particle settling (i.e., C{W}_{s}). Two potential drivers of enhanced sedimentation are flocculation and interfacial instabilities. We experimentally measured the sediment fluxes from each of these processes using two sets of laboratory experiments that …

The Development of an In-situ Mud Floc Microscope Imaging Device and In-situ Floc Observations from the Lowermost Mississippi River
… can combine to form larger aggregates known as flocs. The size and density, and consequently, the settling velocity, of flocs is highly dynamic and depends on factors such as turbulence levels within the flow and biogeochemical components of the water and sediment. To better predict where mud …
