AbstractPartially treated wastewater discharge from marine outfall diffusers often contains inorganic and organic solids that may settle close to the source and give rise to sludge banks that affect benthic ecology. An experimental and theoretical investigation of the structure and settling mechanisms of a horizontal sediment momentum jet in stagnant ambient has been carried out. The cross-sectional particle concentration distribution of a horizontal sediment jet is measured for the first time. Bottom deposition measurements are made for a total of 41 experiments of momentum jets laden with sand particles or synthetic spherical glass particles. The sediment jet can be characterised by a sedimentation length scale lm defined by the jet momentum flux and particle settling velocity. The measured longitudinal sediment deposition rate can be described by a semiempirical log-normal distribution based on lm. In the instantaneous particle distribution, the sediment fallout is concentrated in a central region and ...
