Clay Deposition

where:

=
the effective fall velocity, m/sec
These terms will all scale as before and the term in parentheses that includes the ratio
of shear stresses is already non-dimensional. The effective fall velocity is used for
clay deposition because for clay the relationship between concentration and fall
velocity, if the option is used in the program, is nonlinear.
