Special Topics: An Introduction to Fluid Motions, Sediment Transport & Current-generated Sedimentary Structures: Course Description
This OpenCourseWare from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology begins by focusing on the characteristics of fluid dynamics related to particulate sedimentary materials. With this fluid dynamics as a background, the course covers sediment movement and ripple and dune bed forms. The end of the course discusses the styles of current-generated primary sediment structures. Topics covered include flow past a sphere; open-channel flow; sediments, flumes and variables; threshold of movement; movement of sediment; bed configurations; deposition; cross stratification and plantar stratification. Professor John Southard teaches this free MIT undergraduate course on fluid dynamics.
Lecture notes and term paper topics are included with this MIT OpenCourseWare about fluid dynamics. If you,re interested in taking this free course, visit the Fluid Dynamics course page.
