What flow depth is required in a turbulent river to support
quartz grains of diameter 0.25 mm in suspension if the slope of the
river is 1 m/km? Assume that the critical Rouse number for
suspension is 2.5. Perform the same calculation for 0.25 mm grain
of gold. Recall that Rouse number should be less than 2.5 for
sediment particles to be in suspension.
