Table 1. Physical characteristics and expected critical stresses (Tc), in Pascal (Pa), of artificial sand and oil agglomerates (aSOAs). Not all aSOAs listed were deployed. Bold text indicates aSOA with observed incipient motion that is used in further analysis. Calculation of high-, medium-, and low-critical stresses for each aSOA are described in Plant and others (2013).
