Abstract:A suspended sediment concentration (SSC) equation for turbulent flows is proposed and tested.• The equation is derived from a co-spectral budget that accounts for energy distribution in all eddy sizes.• The effects of Reynolds number and a scale-dependent Schmidt number on SSC are explicitly described.
