    MEAM Seminar: “Exploring the Structure of Sediment-Laden Turbidity Currents”

    /
    Zoom - Email MEAM for Link peterlit@seas.upenn.edu

    Turbidity currents are sediment-laden turbulent shear flows that run over a sloping bed, submerged beneath a deep layer of quiescent ambient fluid, driven by the excess hydrostatic pressure. As the current travels downslope, the flow interacts with the ambient fluid layer above through entrainment at the interface. In this process, the ambient fluid is continuously […]
