Lick, W. ENTRAINMENT, DEPOSITION, AND TRANSPORT OF FINE-GRAINED SEDIMENTS IN LAKES. U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Washington, D.C., EPA/600/J-82/362 (NTIS PB83241232), 1982.
Description:
Recent work on the settling, diffusion, entrainment, and deposition of fine-grained sediments in fresh water is reviewed and synthesized in the report. Particular attention is given to the dependence of these processes on sediment properties such as particle size. The application of this knowledge to the analysis and numerical modeling of sediment transport is also discussed. Much of the work is concerned with the Great Lakes and, more specifically, with the Western Basin of Lake Erie. (Copyright (c) Dr. W. Junk Publishers, The Hague. Printed in The Netherlands.)
