Experimental and numerical modeling of submarine channel flow and morphodynamics
<p>Submarine channels have been documented as ubiquitous features of continental slopes and fan systems.These channels with intricate meandering patterns and extensive levees are recognized as products of density-driven flows known as turbidity currents. The flow field and the morphodynamics of …

Quantifying turbidity current interactions with topography
… defining turbidity current interactions with submarine channels and canyons because infrequent occurrence, great water depths, and high current velocities make measurements difficult to obtain. To overcome this problem, I utilize reduced scale laboratory experiments, remote sensing of the …

Multi-Disciplinary Analyses of Outcropping Late Cretaceous Clinoform Stratigraphy, Magallanes Basin, Chile
… basins. Clinoforms, shelf-edge deltas, submarine canyons, and deep-water channels are central components of these systems, yet their stratigraphic architecture, sediment-routing behaviour, fluid trapping potential, and influence on organic matter preservation are commonly studied …

Multi-scale deep-marine stratigraphic expressions in the Cretaceous Magallanes Basin, Chile: Implications for depositional architecture and basin evolution
Submarine channel-levee systems represent one of the most significant features of sediment transfer on Earth and one of the final segments in source-to-sink routing systems. As such, they serve as conduits as well as intermediate or final storage for large volumes of sediment, paleoenvironmental …

3-D Numerical Modeling of Turbidity Currents
… to simulate turbidity currents in a large-scale submarine environment. The model solves the Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes equations, along with a two-equation turbulence closure model, the sediment conservation equations for multiple grain-size classes and the Exner equation of bed sediment …
