Abstract
⺠Near-bed turbulent fluxes were measured in the Gironde estuary by acoustic velocimetry. ⺠Acoustic velocities, turbulent shear and SSC were analyzed in the presence of fluid mud. ⺠Settling fluxes in quiescent waters and turbulent fluxes are compared in a wide range of SSC. ⺠Processes governing near-bed sediment fluxes under the effect of turbulence are discussed.
