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.

CFD-DEM modeling of turbidity current propagation in channels with two different topographic configurations

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2023
Submarine turbidity currents are a special type of sediment gravity flow responsible for turbidite deposits, attracting great interests from scientists and engineers in marine and petroleum geology. This paper presents a fully coupled computational fluid

Longitudinal flow evolution and turbulence structure of dynamically similar, sustained, saline density and turbidity currents [PDF]

, 2006
Experimental results are presented concerning flow evolution and turbulence structure of sustained saline and turbidity flows generated on 0°, 3°, 6°, and 9° sloping ramps that terminate abruptly onto a horizontal floor.

Self-stratifying turbidity currents

, 2022
Turbidity currents, seafloor flows driven by the excess density of suspended particles, are key conveyors of sediment, nutrient, and pollutant from the continental margins to deep ocean, and pose critical submarine geohazard risks. Due to their vast scale and extreme aspect ratio, extant models are constrained to highly simplified depth-averaged theory

Numerical Modeling of turbidity currents with Ansys CFX and Telemac 3D

E3S Web of Conferences, 2018
Turbidity currents may be a relevant lever to manage the accumulation of fine sediments in reservoirs. In this paper, we propose to show how two different numerical codes simulate the propagation of turbidity currents.

Sedimentary processes and architecture of Upper Cretaceous deep-sea channel deposits : a case from the Skole Nappe, Polish Outer Carpathians [PDF]

, 2018
Deep-sea channels are one of the architectonic elements, forming the main conduits for sand and gravel material in the turbidite depositional systems.

Propagation Velocity of Excitation Waves Caused by Turbidity Currents

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering
Turbidity currents are important carriers for transporting terrestrial sediment into the deep sea, facilitating the transfer of matter and energy between land and the deep sea.

Modeling of Breaching-Generated Turbidity Currents Using Large Eddy Simulation

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2020
Breaching flow slides result in a turbidity current running over and directly interacting with the eroding, submarine slope surface, thereby promoting further sediment erosion. The investigation and understanding of this current are crucial, as it is the

Are flood-driven turbidity currents hot spots for priming effect in lakes? [PDF]

Biogeosciences, 2016
In deep stratified lakes, such as Lake Geneva, flood-driven turbidity currents are thought to contribute to the replenishment of deep oxygen by significant transport of river waters saturated with oxygen into the hypolimnion.

Seismic characteristics of sediment drifts: An example from the Agulhas Plateau, southwest Indian Ocean [PDF]

, 2001
Sediment drifts provide information on the palaeoceanographic development of a region. Additionally, they may represent hydrocarbon reservoirs. Because of this, sediment drift investigation has increased over the last few years. Nevertheless, a number of
