Measurements of size distributions of settling flocs / Y.L. Lau and B.G. Krishnappan.: En13-5/97-223E-PDF

"Size distribution measurements were made during experiments on the settling of fine cohesive sediments in uniform shear flows. The experiments were conducted in an annular flume 5 m in diameter. The sediments came from two different sources, one from the Athabasca River in Alberta and one from a stormwater detention pond in Kingston, Ontario. Measurements were made simultaneously using two different instruments, a Malvern Particle Size Analyser and a water elutriation apparatus. The two instruments produced very different distributions. These distributions were used to validate a relationship between floc density and floc size. Information on the composition of various sizes of flocs were also obtained"--Abstract.
