Effect of particle shape on grain size, hydraulic, and transport characteristics of calcareous sand

This study examines the grain size, fall velocity, initiation of motion, and sediment transport rates of calcareous sand collected on Oʻahu, Hawaiʻi. These characteristics are unique to calcareous sand owing to the irregular shape of the particles and are distinct from those of siliceous sand, which...
