Sediment transport in coastal plain estuary
Observations of net flow and suspended sediment were made in Rappahannock Estuary, Virginia, to delineate patterns of transport that lead to partial entrapment of sediment in middle estuary; upstream transport by density currents is augmented by alternating tidal flow that favors differential setting and selective transport of coarse-grained particles; near head, rapid advective mixing and moderate tidal turbulence act to deter deposition and recirculate sediment downstream over shoals; engineering measures in similar systems should be planned to take advantage of natural self-flushing features.
