- •
The non-dimensional number Y is found representing the ability of the plume system to deliver sediments to the alongshore coastal current.
- •
A critical range of settling velocities exist above which no transport in the costal current is allowed.
- •
Low magnitude and long-lasting floods promote sediment sorting in the continental shelf.
- •
Intermediate flood magnitudes at the limit between subcritical and supercritical flow maximize the alongshore sediment transport.
- •
Intermediate discharge durations maximize the alongshore sediment transport.
