Modeling Sediment Transport in Fullers Cave, Culverson Creek Cave System, West Virginia, USA
Abstract
Sediment transport affects how cave passages grow and behave during floods. For sediment to begin moving, a critical shear stress and minimum discharge must be reached. Often, assumptions about these variables are necessary to model sediment transport and
