While designing physical hydraulic model tests to investigate the efficiency of pressure flushing, it is most likely that very fine sediments of cohesive nature are required to satisfy the relevant scaling criteria. Cohesive sediments have different physical properties than sand, and a possibility to avoid such scale effects is to use lightweight materials with a specific gravity larger than water but lower than sand as model sediment. This paper addresses this issue by presenting results from laboratory experiments mimicking pressure flushing through a bottom outlet by using different lightweight materials and sand as model sediments. The results consolidate conclusions of previous studies carried out solely with sand and show that lightweight models can be used to predict the length and volume of flushingcones. Empirical relations to predict the length and volume of flushing cones are proposed and validated against a small set of experimental data from a previous study.
