The effects of flocculation on the entrainment of fluid mud layer

Flocculation is an integral part for cohesive sediment transport processes as it will further influence other processes such as settling, deposition as well as erosion processes. To understand the impacts of flocculation on entrainment process of fluid mud with different salinities, a series of entrainment and sedimentation experiments were conducted. Entrainment experiments were conducted under constant hydrodynamic conditions driven by a shear...
