Discussion
• Closer look at the wave turbulence model
(for field conditions)
• Limitation of the lab experiments (Re)
• The model considers no erosion threshold

First Hypothesis
No mud layer
High measured velocities near bottom due to log profile
Mud layer
High measured velocities near bottom because the profiler don’t find the true bottom
Second Hypothesis

How to know which one is correct?
Do we need new field techniques for measuring SSC and velocities below the primary lutoclines?
