Transport behaviour of solids
Sedimentation

Settling speed for a particle with a density of 2.65 g/cm ³, dependant on the particle diameter and the temperature of the water [Kalbs97]
Sedimentation (deposition), dependent on the settling speed of the particles
Tables and charts used to determine the settling speed of particles take into account factors such as density, particle size and [Jones84a] [SteinR2005] [Glazi1989].
