Sediment Fall Velocity
The sediment fall velocity may be user-specified or is calculated using the formula by Soulsby (1997):
| $ \omega _{s}={\frac {v}{d}}\left[(10.36^{2}+1.049d_{*}^{3})^{1/2}-10.36\right] $ | (1) |
where:
- v = kinematic viscosity [m2/s]
- d = grain size [m]
- d* = dimensionless grain size [-].
The dimensionless grain size is given by

where:
s = sediment specific gravity or relative density [-]
g = gravitational constant (9.81 m/s2).
