Depositional effects of flow nonuniformity and stratification within turbidity currents approaching a bounding slope; deflection, reflection, and facies variation

B Kneller, W McCaffrey - Journal of Sedimentary …, 1999 - pubs.geoscienceworld.org
The flow of turbidity currents and pyroclastic flows into regions with topography produces
spatial variation in flow. This variation (the flow nonuniformity) affects not only the loci of …
