BEHAVIOUR OF FLUIDS AND PARTICLES IN FLUID
Rolling grains are moved as a result of frictional drag between the flow and the clasts. however, to
make grains saltate and therefore temporarily move upwards from the base of the flow a further
force is required. this force is provided by the Bernoulli effect.

ENERGY
The lift force resulting from the The rag force resulting from the
Bernoulli effect causes grains to be frictional rag between the Flow an
move up from the base of the flow the clasts.

CURRENTS RIPPLES
• are small bedforms formed by the effects of
boundary layer separation on a bed of
sand, The small cluster of grains grows to
form the crest of a ripple and separation
occurs near this point. Sand grains roll or
saltate up to the crest on the upstream stoss
side of the ripple.
CURRENTS RIPPLES
They only form in sands in which the dominant grain size is less than 0.6
mm (coarse sand grade) because bed roughness created by coarser
sand creates turbulent mixing, which inhibits the smallscale flow
separation required for ripple formation.
FORMATION OF WAVES RIPPLES
The formation of wave ripples in
sediment is produced by
oscillatory motion in the water
column due to wave ripples on
the surface of the water. Note
that there is no overall lateral
movement of the water, or of the
sediment. In deep water the
internal friction reduces the
oscillation and wave ripples do
not form in the sediment.

HIGH-DENSITY TURBIDITY CURRENTS
• Avalanches are mechanisms of mass transport down a steep slope, which are also
known as grain flows. particles in a grain flow are kept apart in the fluid medium
by repeated grain to grain collisions and grain flows rapidly ‘freeze’ as soon as
the kinetic energy of the particles falls below a critical value.

Chevron marks
• Small-scale erosional features on a bed surface are referred to as sole marks.
sole marks may be divided into those that form as a result of turbulence in the
water causing erosion (scour marks) and impressions formed by objects carried in
the water flow (tool marks) (allen 1982)

TERMINOLOGY FOR SEDIMENTARY
STRUCTURES AND BEDS
• When describing layers of sedimentary rock it is useful to indicate how thick the
beds are, and this can be done by simply stating the measurements in millimetres,
centimetres or metres. In an attempt to standardize this terminology, there is a
generally agreed set of ‘definitions’ for bed thickness
• in common with many other fields of geology, there is some variation in the use of
the terminology to describe bedforms and sedimentary structures.
