Turbulence processes within turbidity currents

MG Wells, RM Dorrell - Annual Review of Fluid Mechanics, 2021 - annualreviews.org
Sediment-laden gravity currents, or turbidity currents, are density-driven flows that transport
vast quantities of particulate material across the floor of lakes and oceans. Turbidity currents …

Viewing Earth's surface as a soft-matter landscape

DJ Jerolmack, KE Daniels - Nature Reviews Physics, 2019 - nature.com
Earth's surface is composed of a staggering diversity of particulate–fluid mixtures: dry to wet,
dilute to dense, colloidal to granular and attractive to repulsive particles. This material variety …

Sedimentological regimes for turbidity currents: Depth‐averaged theory

TC Halsey, A Kumar, MM Perillo - Journal of GEOPHYSICAL …, 2017 - Wiley Online Library
Turbidity currents are one of the most significant means by which sediment is moved from
the continents into the deep ocean; their properties are interesting both as elements of the …

Sand–mud couplets deposited by spontaneous remobilization of subaqueous transitional flows

WM Koo, D Mohrig, J Buttles, D Sturmer… - …, 2020 - Wiley Online Library
Clean basal and capping argillaceous sandstone couplets in deep water settings have been
previously interpreted as the result of spatially segregated turbidity currents and debris flows …

Construction of deep-water deposits by subaqueous-transitional flows

WM Koo - 2018 - repositories.lib.utexas.edu
Understanding the transitional-sediment-gravity flow is essential to predicting the quality of
hydrocarbon reservoirs because the transitional flow is an important carrier of muddy sands …
