DOI: 10.1016/j.ijsrc.2020.04.003
Abstract: Abstract A turbidity current is a particle-laden current driven by density differences due to suspended sediment particles. Turbidity currents can transport large amounts of sediment down slopes over great distances, and play a significant role… read more here.

DOI: 10.1029/2020jf005582
Abstract: Breaching flow slides are accompanied by the generation of turbidity currents. Measurements of these currents are critical for understanding the interaction between the turbidity current and the slope surface, as well as for the validation… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/sed.12751
Abstract: Submarine lobes have been identified within various deep‐water settings, including the basin‐floor, the base of slope and the continental slope. Their dimensions and geometries are postulated to be controlled by the topographic configuration of the… read more here.

DOI: 10.1126/sciadv.abl9124
Abstract: 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 accumulation at a falling rate by the gradually waning density… read more here.

DOI: 10.4208/cicp.oa-2017-0241
Abstract: Turbidity current over a Gaussian-bump is investigated numerically using the upwinding combined compact difference (UCCD) scheme and the immersed boundary (IB) method in Cartesian grids. In the prediction of lock-exchange gravity-driven flow motion, the initial… read more here.
