Turbidity current modelling on geological time scales

TL;DR: In this article, a numerical model is developed to simulate sedimentary architecture resulting from turbidity currents over geological time, which is based on the cellular automata paradigm and is built in order to reproduce the physical processes which govern turbidity current behavior.
Journal ArticleDOI

Influence of the back-barrier basin length on the geometry of ebb-tidal deltas

TL;DR: In this article, the effect of the length of the back-barrier basin on the sand volume and spatial symmetry of ebb-tidal deltas is quantified with the use of a numerical model.
Journal ArticleDOI

3D numerical simulation of turbulence and sediment transport within a tidal inlet

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the mechanisms of morphologic evolution of scour holes within the Indian River Inlet, Delaware, USA and found that sediment concentration through the cofferdams of the replacement bridge was the main reason for scour hole development.
Journal ArticleDOI

Using a Modified Lane's Relation in Local Bed Scouring Studies in the Laboratory Channel

TL;DR: In this paper, a modified version of Lane's relation is used for laboratory studies of local scour forming in prearranged clear-water equilibrium conditions and gives a new opportunity for this principle application.

Intertidal flat development in response to controlled embankment retreat: Freiston Shore, The Wash, UK

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the response of the intertidal zone at Freiston Shore to a controlled embankment retreat (CER) completed in August 2002, and interprets changes in sediment dynamics and bed level across the inter-idal zone based on an analysis of temporal and spatial variations in the suspended sediment flux over semi-diurnal tidal cycles.
