Contents:
Cover; Preface; Table of Contents; Introduction; Boundary Layer Flow; The Nature of Cohesive Sediment; Flocculation Processes; Settling and Sedimentation; Sediment-Fluid Interaction; Self-Weight Consolidation; Mechanical Behaviour; Erosion and Entrainment; Biological Effects; Gas in Cohesive Sediments; References; Nomenclature; Definitions and Useful Relations; Measuring Techniques; Tensor Analysis; The 1DV Point Model; Subject Index.
Summary: This book is an introduction to the physical processes of cohesive sediment in the marine environment. It focuses on highly dynamic systems, such as estuaries and coastal seas. Processes on the continental shelf are also discussed and attention is given to the effects of chemistry, biology and gas. The process descriptions are based on hydrodynamic and soil mechanic principles, which integrate at the soil-water interface. This approach is substantiated through a classification scheme of sediment occurrences in which distinction is made between cohesive and granular material. Emphasis is also pl.
