Journal ArticleDOI
Flow structure of turbidity currents
TL;DR: In this article, a two-dimensional numerical model is used to describe the flow structure of turbidity currents in a vertical plane, which is applied to historical flows in Bute Inlet and the Grand Banks flow.
Journal ArticleDOI
Instability of a bed of particles sheared by a viscous flow
TL;DR: In this article, the instability of a bed of particles sheared by a viscous fluid is investigated theoretically, and the particle transport rate induced by this bed shear stress is calculated from the viscous resuspension theory of Leighton & Acrivos.
Journal ArticleDOI
Particle based modelling and simulation of natural sand dynamics in the wave bottom boundary layer
TL;DR: In this paper, an Euler-Lagrange point-particle model is developed to capture the individual and collective dynamics of subaqueous natural sand grains, which is used to simulate sand particle dynamics in two asymmetric oscillatory flow conditions corresponding to the vortex ripple experiments.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sedtrans05: An improved sediment-transport model for continental shelves and coastal waters with a new algorithm for cohesive sediments
TL;DR: The one-dimensional (vertical) sediment-transport model SEDTRANS96 has been upgraded to predict more accurately both cohesive and non-cohesive sediment transport, and a new cohesive sediment algorithm was added.
Journal ArticleDOI
Stratification effects by fine suspended sediment at low, medium, and very high concentrations
TL;DR: In this article, the second part of a study on stratification effects by cohesive and non-cohesive sediment is described, and the hydrodynamic description of sediment transport is used to predict capacity conditions as a function of a dimensionless stream power, i.e., U3/hgWs.
