Turbidity Currents and Petroleum Exploration
AAPG Bulletin, 1954Application of theories of deposition by turbidity currents solves several geologic problems. Deposits of turbidity currents on shelves and in mobile belts have distinct characteristics. Familiarity with some of these characteristics can considerably help the exploration geologist.

Turbidity Currents, Bedforms, and Gullies
2001Abstract : Our main goal is the development of physically-based models for submarine sediment movement that can be used to predict the initiation, spatial development, and time duration of mud flows and turbidity currents. Of particular interest are the characteristics of the sedimentary deposits generated by density underflows, mainly their capability

Possible Quick-Clay Motion in Turbidity Currents
Science, 1962Sensitive clay masses that lie dormant for years but, as the result of a sudden shock, become turbulent, flowing mud, have been called quick clays. Such masses may move in quantity over almost flat terrain, and they exhibit the power to transport buildings and other heavy objects considerable distances. On theoretical grounds it is proposed that one of

Modelling turbidity currents in reservoirs
1994A two-layer mathematical model is presented for sedimentation in reservoirs where turbidity currents are to be expected. As the model is two-dimensional in plan, the suspended-sediment concentration of the turbulent underflow is described by a depth-integrated form of the convection-diffusion equation originally proposed by Galappatti in 1983.
