Résumé

In this study, we propose a particle sedimentation/aggradation law for homogeneous concentrated suspensions. This law, valid in the Stokes flow regime, can be used to describe the sedimentation process observed in short-lived rapid flows, developed at high Reynolds number, that can be described as low-viscosity quasi-parallel flows traveling at constant velocity and that progressively sediment during the dominant phase of transport to leave a triangular or trapezoidal deposit of constant slope. The particle aggradation velocity can thus be predicted from the product of the mean flow velocity and the deposit slope and turns out to be roughly similar to that measured from static suspensions of same concentration, provided that the flow Reynolds number, based on the mean flow velocity, the fluid properties and the particles size remains inferior to a few hundred, such as the mixture agitation can not disturb the sedimentation process. These important results provide the possibility of describing the depositional dynamics during the final stage of extreme events, as well as to infer the mixture rheology, from physical parameters that can be easily measured in the field.
