Sentence examples for sediment bed from inspiring English sources

First, there is a transition in fine particle loading rate as a function of discharge for gravel-bedded sediments that does not appear when the sediment bed is composed of sand, cobbles, boulders, or bedrock.

The efficiency of the proposed algorithm is illustrated via a series of simulations of transient flows with strong concentration gradients, namely, sedimentation of a granular suspension, compaction of a dense sediment bed, and collapse of a submerged granular column.

Fig. 4 Pressure-driven flow over a dense sediment bed.

The lake has strong internal cycling of nutrients between the water column and the sediment bed.

SAV respiration releases nutrients back into the sediment bed and water column.

We also studied the hydrodynamic forces acting on a fully resolved sediment bed induced by a gravity current.

Car transportation rates correspond to sand flux for sediment beds, which is a quantifiable factor.

Historically, most sedimentological and geomorphological studies of subaqueous beds have considered beds in which sand covered the entire substrate, i.e., sediment beds.

It is known that on starved beds (nonerodible substrates with sparse sand), there occur topographic features that are different from those that occur on sediment beds, for example, sand patches.

Although Betat et al. (2002) measured the bedload flux for sediment beds, there are few such studies, because it is difficult to measure the sand flux without disturbing the system; this is especially true for starved beds.

The computational approach outlined and tested in the present paper holds great promise, as it is able to capture the grain-resolved dynamics of thick, mobile sediment beds and their coupled dynamics with the flow above.
