Each type of sediment has its own coefficients. Following is a description of the parameters listed under Sediment Types:

Size is the representative particle diameter (0.001 – 1.0 mm)
Specific Gravity is the ratio of particle density to the density of water (normally 2.65, unitless)
Settling Velocity is the particle settling velocity in quiescent water (0.0 – 1.0 mm / s)
