Particle Entrainment Simulator at the U.S. Army Engineer Research and Development Center

Abstract

This technical note describes the particle entrainment simulator (PES), which is used at the U.S. Army Engineer Research and Development Center (ERDC) for experimental determination of erodibility of fine-grained cohesive sediments. The device, its method of operation, experimental data reduction, and application of PES results to studies related to estuarine and coastal sediment transport problems are briefly described.
