Coastal sediments in polluted areas adsorb many hydrophobic pollutants such as PCBs. During environmental remediation projects like dredging, they can be resuspended and transported to less polluted areas. To assess the environmental impact, the author previously developed a mathematical model that can simulate the changes of particle size distribution (PSD) due to sedimentation, vortical dispersion and coagulation. In this research, the simulation results using this model were presented in conjunction with observed PSDs from a 2-m settling column simulating coastal environments. The simulations showed that the model predictions were in fairly good agreement with the observed data (changes of PSDs in terms of depths and times), and that the resuspended sediments coagulated during the vertical transport. So, this study showed that the developed model has a good ability to describe the very complicated phenomena of real aggregation and vortical transport dynamics of coastal sediments with various particle sizes.
