The article surveys the current state of our understanding of turbidity currents, with an
emphasis on their fluid mechanics. It highlights the significant role these currents play within …

Fluid mechanics lies at the heart of many of the physical processes associated with the
nascent deep-sea mining industry. The evolution and fate of sediment plumes that would be …

Turbidity currents, and other types of submarine sediment density flow, redistribute more
sediment across the surface of the Earth than any other sediment flow process, yet their …

In this review article, we discuss recent progress with regard to modeling gravity-driven, high
Reynolds number currents, with the emphasis on depth-resolving, high-resolution …

Sediment transport simulations face the challenge of accounting for vastly different scales in
space and time that cannot be tackled by a unifying approach. Instead, processes are …

Abstract The Marnoso Arenacea Formation provides the most extensive correlation of
individual flow deposits (beds) yet documented in an ancient turbidite system. These …

Direct numerical simulations are employed to investigate the interactions of bidisperse
turbidity currents with three-dimensional seafloor topography in the form of Gaussian bumps …

The turbidity current (TC), a ubiquitous fluid–particle coupled phenomenon in the natural
environment and engineering, can transport over long distances on an inclined terrain due …

Large‐amplitude, vertically trapped internal waves can induce sizable velocities and trigger
hydrodynamic instabilities in the bottom boundary layer, thereby contributing to the …

Direct numerical simulations (DNSs) of three-dimensional cylindrical release gravity currents
in a linearly stratified ambient are presented. The simulations cover a range of stratification …
