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 …

The dynamic component in hydrology, sedimentology, and, consequently, river morphology
serves as a backbone for the entire river environment (Maddock 1999). In addition to water …

Turbidity currents are notoriously difficult to monitor directly, therefore interpretation of their
deposits forms the basis for much of our understanding of these flows. The deceleration rate …

The deposition of a classic turbidite by a surge-type turbidity current, as envisaged by
conceptual models, is widely considered a discrete event of continuous sediment …

Basal divisions of turbidite deposits often show characteristics that are interpreted as
expression of high-density layers forming at the bases of turbidity currents; however, this link …

There is a growing need across different disciplines to develop better predictive tools for flow
conditions of density and turbidity currents. Apart from resorting to complex numerical …

Direct numerical simulations (DNS) of planar gravity current in the Boussinesq limit have
been conducted with the objective of identifying, visualizing, and describing turbulent …

Hybrid event beds comprising clay‐poor and clay‐rich sandstone are abundant in
Maastrichtian‐aged sandstones of the Springar Formation in the north‐west Vøring Basin …

The capacity of turbidity currents to carry sand and coarser sediment from shallow to deep
regions in the submarine environment has attracted the attention of researchers from …

Submarine fans, supplied primarily by turbidity currents, constitute the largest sediment
accumulations on Earth. Generally accepted models of turbidity current behavior imply they …
