Bottom boundary layer physics and sediment transport along a transgressive sand body, Ship Shoal, south-central Louisiana: implications for fluvial sediments and winter storms
… post-frontal phases, resulted in accumulation of fluid mud on the eastern flank of the shoal and consequent shoal sediment heterogeneity during the spring of 2006; this fluid mud layer strongly interacted with storm waves and currents through the processes of sediment re-suspension, vertical …

Two-Dimensional Transient Flows and Stability of Concentrated Suspensions of Clay Particles and Rheology
… suspensions of clay particles, such as fluid mud, molten lava, and mining slurries, boundary-layer flows of these fluids on a slope are studied theoretically and experimentally. Rheological measurements using a state-of-the-art rheometer show that the shear history of concentrated …

Remote estimation of aquatic sediment density in the presence of scatter.
The accuracy of an acoustic method is tested for its ability to estimate the density of the first few meters of shallow marine sediment. Normal incidence reflections from a 16 kHz omnidirectional source are collected using a single hydrophone directly above the source. An empirical relationship is …

Effect of self-stratification of sediment suspensions in turbulent plane Couette flow
… in the lower layer, which is referred to as a fluid mud layer. The turbulence structure, velocity profile and suspended sediment concentration profile is remarkably different depending whether or not a lutocline is present. In tidal environments, a lutocline can be formed as sediment settles …

Two-phase Flow Modelling of Mud Flocs Sedimentation in Coastal Waters
… effects by relating the settling velocity of mud flocs with mud flocs properties (size, shape and effective density) empirically based on various flocculation models for dilute suspension. A few investigations have also been reported on the cohesive sediment transport processes with high …

Spatial and temporal variations in the geometry and composition of the Permian Whitehill Formation South Africa
… transported into the basin mainly in form of fluid mud flows and deposited above storm wave base. The presence various body and trace fossils, as well as the variations in bioturbation styles and intensities in subunits F3-F5, indicate that colonisation of the basin by invertebrate and …
