Sentence examples for current sediment from inspiring English sources

Samples from one test site, the paper said, now show 2.5 to 23 times more PAHs in current sediment than in layers dating back to around 1960. "We're not saying these are poisonous ponds," Professor Smol said.

Submarine fan valleys, with low relief and natural levees, commonly occur on submarine fans, branching outward and downward into distributary channels, which serve to distribute the turbidity current sediment over the entire fan by migrating laterally in much the same way that the distributaries of a river delta do.

If current sediment loads/climate regimes persist, reservoir capacity will be reduced by 50% after 345 years.

The numerical model is developed based on the sub-models for nearshore wave, wave-induced current, sediment transport and beach morphological evolution.

Our results suggests that current sediment basin design could be modified when chemically-assisted settling is implemented, taking up less space and cost in construction sites.

A coupled layer-averaged 2D numerical model is applied, which explicitly incorporates the interactions between the current, sediment transport and morphological evolution, and features a new well-balanced numerical scheme dealing with irregular topography.

Current sediment-placement decisions often focus on local and immediate environmental effects from the sediment itself, ignoring a variety of distributed and long-term effects from transportation and placement activities.

The numerical model is firstly tested by the experiment results for coastal waves, near-shore currents, sediment transport and beach morphological evolution around breakwater from the Large-scale Sediment Transport Facility at the US Army Corps of Engineer Research and Development Center (Gravens and Wang, 2007).

This study provides a numerical model to investigate the influences of breakwater layout on coastal waves, wave-induced currents, sediment transport and beach morphological evolution in the vicinity of breakwater.

Then the model is used to study the influences of breakwater layout on coastal waves, wave-induced currents, sediment transport and beach morphological evolution by set several breakwater layouts in the LSTF basin.

In particular, in tide-dominated areas due to higher near-bottom shear stress at strong currents, sediment concentration and turbidity are expected to be at maximum during spring tide, while algal growth rate likely is peaking up at slack currents during neap tide.
