A laboratory investigation of depositional characteristics of fine sediment from a harbour using a rotating circular flume / M.G. Skafel and B.G. Krishnappan. : En13-5/97-133E-PDF
"Many hydrophobic contaminants are attached to fine sediments which are transported into Great Lakes harbours along with the tributary waters. Settling of sediment in the harbours depends on physical, chemical and biological factors. An important aspect of modelling water quality and the transport of the contaminants is the formation of flocs and the resultant effects on settling velocity and deposition rates. These processes cannot be estimated theoretically. We used a unique rotating flume to study the effects of turbulence on floc formation and settling velocity for sediment from Port Stanley harbour. This paper adds to our knowledge of the effects on floc formation of shear stress, seasonality, and storage time as they relate to the transport properties of fine sediment from Port Stanley harbour"--Management perspective.
