Laboratory simulation of flocculation process and investigation of influencing important factors in estuaries using image processing

Key Points

• Flocculation influences sediment transport and water quality in estuarine environments, altering ecological balance.
• Key findings demonstrate that varying sediment types and concentrations significantly affect flocculation efficiency.
• Laboratory simulations were conducted using image processing techniques to analyze flocculation processes and their dynamics.
• Understanding these processes highlights the need for effective management strategies in estuarine ecosystems.
