Sediment Transport at Density Fronts in Shallow Water: A Continuation of N00014-08-1-0846

Abstract

The goal of the overall research is to quantify through observations and modeling how density fronts in shallow estuarine flows impact the mobilization, redistribution, trapping, and deposition of suspended sediment. This current award is a continuation of the original YIP award in order to deliver a remaining increment of funds that had not been allocated. The focus of this continuation is to examine how stratification on the tidal flats varies in parameter space as a function of dimensionless numbers.
