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 …

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 …

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 …

A detailed field investigation of a saline gravity current in the southwest Black Sea has
enabled the first complete analysis of three-dimensional flow structure and dynamics of a …

Turbidity currents are important ocean dynamic processes that influence sediment transport,
ocean engineering, and marine environments. As a turbidity current evolves, its macroscopic …

The central problem of describing most environmental and industrial flows is predicting
when material is entrained into, or deposited from, suspension. The threshold between …

This paper presents a model to characterize the distribution of non-uniform sediment in
suspension above erodible sediment beds in turbulent flow under non-equilibrium …

The margins of submarine channels are characterized by deposits that fine away from the
channel thalweg. This grain‐size trend is thought to reflect upward fining trends in the …

Channelized submarine gravity currents travel remarkable distances, transporting sediment
to the distal reaches of submarine fans. However, the mechanisms by which flows can be …

Predicting when turbidity currents are erosional or depositional (ie, leaving no depositional
record versus leaving a deposit) remains challenging. Here we combine observations from …
