    This document contains equations for calculating sediment transport parameters. It defines the bulk density of sediment (γg) as equal to the density of solids (γs) multiplied by 1 minus the porosity (ɳ). It also defines the overall density (γo) of sediment as equal to γs multiplied by 1 minus ɳ, plus the fluid density (γ) multiplied by ɳ. The final section provides an equation for calculating the drag coefficient (Cd) for sediment transport based on fluid and sediment properties.
