✦ Synopsis

Various methods of predicting the incipient motion of sediments under oscillatory waves have been proposed in the past, but most require that at least the wave orbital diameter d o be known. Methods based on the oscillatory Shields parameter u ws , need the wave friction factor f w in order to calculate the critical threshold velocity, for which d o is also required. Other existing methods not requiring d o are only applicable to quartz grains and yield highly inaccurate results. In this paper, a new dimensionless threshold orbital velocity, based on all the important variables playing a role in wave transport, is plotted against the dimensionless settling velocity. This yields a relationship that allows the prediction of the threshold velocity from the wave period and grain size alone. The method has the advantages that it is valid for grains of varying size and density in laminar or turbulent ¯uids of different density and viscosity, does not require the wave orbital diameter, and is more accurate than previous equations.

## Abstract A simple modification of the Pitzer relation to calculate second virial coefficients of polar compounds is proposed. The proposed modification is based on the use of a new parameter, β, which embodies both the contributions of acentricity and polarity to second virial coefficient values
