Abstract
This paper compares the results of two sediment erodibility test methods that have been applied on surficial sediments at a number of locations on the Fox River in Wisconsin. The methods include a straight flume that is deployed in situ (the FLUME) and a straight laboratory flume (the SEDFLUME). The sediment erosion rates measured near the surface (in the top four centimeters) as a function of bottom stress were compared. On average, the erodibility measured by the SEDFLUME was about 5.5 times greater than that measured by the FLUME. A possible reason for the difference is the relatively short test section of the SEDFLUME.
