Book: Slurry Transport (Miedema)
( \newcommand{\kernel}{\mathrm{null}\,}\)
In dredging, trenching, (deep sea) mining, drilling, tunnel boring and many other applications, sand, clay or rock has to be excavated. The book covers horizontal transport of settling slurries (Newtonian slurries). Non-settling (non-Newtonian) slurries are not covered.
