... sediments is imperative. This paper proposes an experimental procedure in the laboratory to assess the extent of such disturbance. To this end, a Coandă-effect-based nodule collector is utilized as a representative source of disturbance. Simulated sediments and artificial nodules, prepared by the physical...
