Abstract: The sediment process of cohesionless fine particles is described by the di ffus ion-convecti on equation. Solutions for this equation can be given in terms of three dimens ionl ess parameters. One of them is the Rouse number z. The influence of the z-numbers on the removal ratio is shown. Moreover the situation at the bed is considered in regard to the possibility of resuspension for settled grains. Finally an exper imental result of a settling test in a laboratory flume is presented.
