Reported here are results from new flume experiments examining deposition and entrainment of inert, silt-sized particles (with spherical diameters in the range from 20 to 60 μm) to and from planar, impermeable and initially starved beds underlying channel flows. Bed surfaces comprised smooth or fixe...
