Abstract
    This paper summarises the relevant sealing laws for the behaviour of High-Concentrated Mud Suspensions (HCMS) under tidal flow conditions. A HCMS is defined as a suspension where the suspended sediment and the turbulent flow field interact strongly through sediment-induced buoyancy effects. It is shown that these HCMS's can become super-saturated as a result of a positive feed-back between the sediment, the turbulent flow field and the formation of a fluid mud layer. The results of IDV numerical simulations agree well with a theoretical analysis, based on an integral entrainment formulation.
