Reference Concentration for Shelf Sediment Transport Models
Abstract
The scientific focus of this project is to improve our understanding of near-bed suspended sediment concentration (i.e., "reference concentration") in the coastal environment. Models of sediment transport require parameterization of the reference concentration in terms of hydrodynamical and sedimentological measures. In this study we evaluate the accuracy and suitability of existing expressions for reference concentration based on field measurements, and develop an improved expression for this important parameter.
