Over het archief
Het OWA, het open archief van het Waterbouwkundig Laboratorium heeft tot doel alle vrij toegankelijke onderzoeksresultaten van dit instituut in digitale vorm aan te bieden. Op die manier wil het de zichtbaarheid, verspreiding en gebruik van deze onderzoeksresultaten, alsook de wetenschappelijke communicatie maximaal bevorderen.
Dit archief wordt uitgebouwd en beheerd volgens de principes van de Open Access Movement, en het daaruit ontstane Open Archives Initiative.

| Abstract |
The process of entrainment of an upper clear water layer by a highly turbulent lower Concentrated Benthic Suspension (CBS) is studied in this paper. A rotating annular flume was adapted to carry out experiments on this type of entrainment. Velocities have been measured at two heights. The results indicate that the lower layer is more turbulent than the upper layer. As a result of entrainment, the density of the lower layer decreases and the height of the interface increases with time. The results of the experiments show that a freshly deposited mud layer behaves in a similar manner as a viscous fluid. The results also indicate that the non-dimensional entrainment rate is proportional to the inverse of an overall Richardson number. |
