TL;DR: The effects of microplastic microfarms on the marine environment are well understood in terms of time scales for fragmentation and degradation, the evolution of particle morphology and properties, and hazards of the chemical mixture liberated by weathering as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI
The characterisation of cohesive sediment properties
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe apparatus, techniques and methods used by participants in the MAST G6M project 4 (Cohesive Sediments) for determining cohesive sediment properties.
Journal ArticleDOI
Modelling the thixotropic behaviour of dense cohesive sediment suspensions
TL;DR: In this article, the structural kinetics theory is used to construct a more general equation of state, which is independent of the rate equation, and the applicability of the model is demonstrated by examples of the prediction of constant structure curves and transient behaviour.
Journal ArticleDOI
Multimodality of a particle size distribution of cohesive suspended particulate matters in a coastal zone
TL;DR: In this article, a curve-fitting analysis for a time series of multimodal PSDs in the Belgian coastal zone showed the dependency of the multimodality on shear-dependent flocculation in a flood and ebb tide, breakage-resistant floculation in the spring season, and silt-sized particle erosion and advection in a storm surge.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sedimentation and self-weight consolidation: general unifying theory
TL;DR: In this paper, a general unifying theory for sedimentation in a suspension and self-weight consolidation of the resulting deposit can be described by a unified theory composed of the elements of the theories used by geotechnical and chemical engineers.
