Initial grain motion under oscillatory flow: a comparison of some threshold criteria

Rigler, J.K.; Collins, M.B.. 1984 Initial grain motion under oscillatory flow: a comparison of some threshold criteria. Geo-Marine Letters, 3 (1). 43-48. 10.1007/BF02463441

Abstract
Experimental data are described on the threshold of transport of quartz, ilmenite, and cassiterite grains under oscillatory flow in a flume and the results are compared to those of other investigators. The results show that for a given particle size, critical shear stress (τcrit) increases with increasing wave period and that τcrit increases with both grain size and grain density. These data are compared with prediction equations.
