Abstract
A numerical model of the resuspension, deposition, and transport of fine-grained, cohesive sediments has been developed and applied. An essential part of this model is an accurate and physically realistic description of the sediment bed and the resuspension of the bottom sediments due to physical processes. The description is based on data from recent experimental and field work on fine-grained sediments. Pertinent results from this work have been incorporated into the present model, and as part of the calculation, changes in the resuspension properties of the sediment bed with time due to resuspension, deposition, and compaction can be approximately determined.
