Autosuspension dimensionless numbers calculated for synthetic eggs drifting at different flow conditions.

Qualitative and quantitative results from experiments with synthetic eggs are indicated with black labels. Circles represent , triangles represent , and black squares represent for the different flow conditions: 0.04m/s (u* = 0.002m/s), 0.07m/s (u* = 0.004m/s), 0.2m/s (u* = 0.008m/s), and 0.4m/s (u* = 0.016m/s). Light dashed blue line and arrows represent the binary autosuspension criteria applicable to and . Shaded colored areas represent the different Rouse mode of transport conditions: bedload(gray), suspended load (50%) (pink), suspended load (100%) (blue), wash load (yellow).
