Flocculation, Optics and Turbulence in the Community Sediment Transport Model System: Application of OASIS Results

Abstract

The goal of this research is to develop greater understanding of how the flocculation of fine-grained sediment responds to turbulent stresses and how this packaging of sediment affects optical and acoustical properties in the water column. Achieving these goals will improve the skill of sediment transport models and their validation and hence visibility.
