Flocculation and Settling Velocity Estimates for Reservoir Sedimentation Analysis

Abstract

This Coastal and Hydraulics Engineering Technical Note (CHETN) describes fine-grain sediment flocculation and aggregation and provides guidance and recommendations for incorporating physical sediment process descriptions (relevant to reservoir sedimentation and sediment bypassing) into U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) numerical sediment transport models.
