A new algorithm for fine sediment transport / B.G. Krishnappan. : En13-5/96-160E-PDF

"Fine sediments in a river system play an important role in the transport of contaminants and hence form an essential component of modelling systems that have been developed for the prediction of transport, fate and bio-accumulation of contaminants in aquatic environments. The existing models of fine sediment transport assume that the fine sediments behave in the same manner as their counterpart, coarse grained sediments. But, recent research has shown that there are fundamental differences in the transport characteristics of the two types of sediments. The new algorithm proposed in this paper treats the transport of fine sediments realistically and hence is an improvement over the existing models"--Management perspective.
