Suspended Sediment Concentration Profiles in Wave-Current Flows

Improved expressions to predict time-averaged and horizontally averaged vertical suspended sediment concentration profiles (C¯ profiles) in wave and current (w-c) conditions are required to advance our present ability to predict rates of noncohesive sediment transport in the marine environment.

Summary:Improved expressions to predict time-averaged and horizontally averaged vertical suspended sediment concentration profiles (C¯ profiles) in wave and current (w-c) conditions are required to advance our present ability to predict rates of noncohesive sediment transport in the marine environment. In the present paper, a new expression for predicting C¯ profiles has been calibrated and tested using measurements of waves, currents, and C¯ profiles obtained in a laboratory basin for a broad range of w-c conditions. Good agreement between observed and predicted C¯ profiles is demonstrated.
