Abstract
A heuristic model for particle entrainment into suspension has been developed based on the interaction between particles lying on the smooth surface of an open-channel flow and near-wall flow coherent structures. These structures consisting on streamwise vortices, were characterized by a very simplistic model which, nevertheless, captures the essential features of typically observed flow structures in the near-wall region of turbulent boundary layers. The simulated trajectories of entrained particles agree well, at least qualitatively, with those observed experimentally.
