A dimensionless framework for predicting submarine fan morphology [PDF]

open access: yesNature Communications, 2022
Submarine fans play an important role in routing sediment in continental and deep water settings. Here the authors develop a framework is to explain the shape of submarine fans using a numerical model framework which can either predict seafloor ...
