Modified Sediment Pick-Up Function
Publication: Journal of Hydraulic Engineering
Volume 145, Issue 1
Abstract
This paper addresses the sediment pick-up process in the high-velocity range of . An existing sediment pick-up function was recalibrated and modified using data of new experiments in a closed pipeline circuit with sand diameters in the range of 50–560 μm. The new pick-up function was used to simulate the generation and passage of a turbidity current along the submarine Congo canyon offshore from the coast of Zaire in Africa.
