TLDR
In this article, a 3D model for the evolution of the settling velocity of cohesive sediments in estuarine and coastal environments is presented, which is the result of turbulence-induced aggregation and floc breakup processes.

Stratification effects by cohesive and noncohesive sediment

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors studied the effect of sediment-induced buoyancy on the vertical profiles of velocity, vertical eddy viscosity/diffusivity, and Reynolds stresses.

Review of wave‐driven sediment resuspension and transport in estuaries

TL;DR: A review of wave-driven sediment resuspension and transport in estuaries, including generation of bed shear stress by waves, initiation of sediment motion by waves and the ways waves modulate, add to, and interact with sediment transport driven by currents, can be found in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI

Modeling a dynamically varying mixed sediment bed with erosion, deposition, bioturbation, consolidation, and armoring

TL;DR: A new one-dimensional (1D), multi-layer sediment bed model for simulating erosion and deposition of fine and mixed sediments subject to consolidation, armoring, and bioturbation, which offers a relatively simple and robust tool for simulators the complex interactions that can affect muddy and mixed sediment bed erodibility.

Sediment Trapping in Estuaries.

TL;DR: A transport decomposition is used to present processes that lead to convergent SPM transport, and trapping mechanisms that leading to ETMs at the landward limit of the salt intrusion, in the freshwater zone, at topographic transitions, and by lateral processes within the cross section are reviewed.
Journal ArticleDOI

The influence of channel deepening on estuarine turbidity levels and dynamics, as exemplified by the Ems estuary

TL;DR: In this paper, an exploratory, semi-analytical model is calibrated to simulate the equilibrium SPM distribution in the upper estuary during five time periods from 1965 to 2005, using archival bathymetric and tidal data.
