Convective Sedimentation from a Stable Turbid Layer

by Theodore Green, Univ of Wisconsin, United States,
El Sayed Mogahed, Univ of Wisconsin, United States,



Document Type: Proceeding Paper

Part of: Sediment Transport Modeling

Abstract:

A set of experiments was conducted to test T Green's criterion for the existence of double-diffusive convective motions at an originally sharp, horizontal interface separating upper, less-dense turbid water from lower, more-dense clear water. The results are discussed.
