The Influence of Confining Topography Orientation on Experimental Turbidity Currents and Geological Implications

Frontiers in Earth Science, 2021
Turbidity currents distribute sediment across the seafloor, forming important archives of tectonic and climatic change on the Earth’s surface. Turbidity current deposition is affected by seafloor topography, therefore understanding the interaction of ...

Evaluation of flow regime of turbidity currents entering Dez Reservoir using extended shallow water model

Water Science and Engineering, 2014
In this study, the performance of the extended shallow water model (ESWM) in evaluation of the flow regime of turbidity currents entering the Dez Reservoir was investigated. The continuity equations for fluid and particles and the Navier-Stokes equations

Newly recognized turbidity current structure can explain prolonged flushing of submarine canyons [PDF]

, 2016
Seabed-hugging flows called turbidity currents are the volumetrically most important process transporting sediment across our planet and form its largest sediment accumulations.

High-resolution simulations of turbidity currents

Progress in Earth and Planetary Science, 2017
We employ direct numerical simulations of the three-dimensional Navier-Stokes equations, based on a continuum formulation for the sediment concentration, to investigate the physics of turbidity currents in complex situations, such as when they interact ...

Turbidity Current Bedforms [PDF]

, 2016
Turbidity currents in the submarine seascape are what river flows are in terrestrial landscapes. While rivers transport sediment from the mountains through valleys towards the sea, turbidity currents transport sediment from the shallow marine realms through canyons towards the deeper abyssal plains.

Three-Dimensional Numerical Modeling of Confined and Unconfined Turbidity Currents – Model Development and Validation [PDF]

Port Said Engineering Research Journal
Turbidity currents are sediment-laden gravity currents that transfer sediments to deep sea and lake floors through erosion and deposition. These deposits form subaqueous fans in deep marine environments and can reduce reservoir storage capacity ...

Inadequacy of fluvial energetics for describing gravity current autosuspension

Nature Communications, 2023
Gravity currents, such as sediment-laden turbidity currents, are ubiquitous natural flows that are driven by a density difference. Turbidity currents have provided vital motivation to advance understanding of this class of flows because their enigmatic ...

Bottom mixed layer oxygen dynamics in the Celtic Sea [PDF]

, 2020
The seasonally stratified continental shelf seas are highly productive, economically important environments which are under considerable pressure from human activity.

Bottom Current Modification of Turbidite Lobe Complexes

Frontiers in Earth Science, 2022
Submarine lobes form at the distal end of sediment gravity flow systems and are globally important sinks for sediment, anthropogenic pollutants and organic carbon, as well as forming hydrocarbon and CO2 reservoirs.
