Newly recognized turbidity current structure can explain prolonged flushing of submarine canyons [PDF]
Science Advances, 2017 Seabed-hugging flows called turbidity currents are the volumetrically most important process transporting sediment across our planet and form its largest sediment accumulations.

Direct observations of bedform migration driven by turbidity currents in a lacustrine channel [PDF]
Scientific ReportsTurbidity currents, gravity-driven sediment-laden flows, govern material transport and shape underwater landscapes across diverse environments. While extensively studied in marine settings, their dynamics in freshwater systems remain underexplored.

Geosystems and Geoenvironment, 2023 Turbidity currents are important ocean dynamic processes that influence sediment transport, ocean engineering, and marine environments. As a turbidity current evolves, its macroscopic and mesoscopic properties are controlled by ambient fluid mechanisms ...

Underwater noise from submarine turbidity currents [PDF]
The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 2021 Submarine landslides and associated turbidity currents can be orders of magnitude larger than their terrestrial equivalents. Their prevalence globally is hugely underrepresented by in situ observations. In addition to their importance in mass transport and morphologic change they can pose significant threat to coastal communities and subsea ...

Experimental Investigation of Water Entrainment of Salty Density Current Over the Bed with Cubic Roughness [PDF]
علوم و مهندسی آبیاری, 2018 Each year rivers transport a lot of sediments, especially for flood times, to dams’ reservoirs and the main cause for this transportation is density current phenomenon.

Effects of cylindrical and cubic piles on motion of density currents
Građevinar, 2021 Density current is the motion of a fluid in another fluid of a different density, with frequent negative environmental impacts. According to the deposition problems caused by density currents in the vicinity of dam bodies, attempts are usually made to ...
