Velocity profiles of turbidity currents flowing over a flat bed
Turbidity currents are the main source of suspended sediment transport in reservoirs and thus one of the main causes of sedimentation. One of the techniques used to avoid reservoir sedimentation is through venting of turbidity currents. In the framework of a research work on venting, velocity measurements of turbidity currents flowing on a flat bed are carried out using Ultrasonic Velocity Prof...
متن کاملIn situ visualization and data analysis for turbidity currents simulation
Turbidity currents are underflows responsible for sediment deposits that generate geological formations of interest for the oil and gas industry. libMesh-sedimentation is an application built upon the libMesh library to simulate turbidity currents. In this work, we present the integration of libMesh-sedimentation with in situ visualization and in transit data analysis tools. DfAnalyzer is a sol...
متن کاملTurbidity Currents and Seabed Morphology
Our main goal is to assess the hydrodynamics of turbidity currents and mudflows and their ability to produce morphological features such as ripples, dunes, antidunes and gullies along their paths. Of particular interest is to elucidate the role played by turbidity currents on the inception of submarine channels and canyons. To this end, understanding the mechanics of sediment erosion, including...
متن کاملTurbidity Currents and Their Deposits
The article surveys the current state of our understanding of turbidity currents, with an emphasis on their fluid mechanics. It highlights the significant role these currents play within the global sediment cycle, and their importance in environmental processes and in the formation of hydrocarbon reservoirs. Events and mechanisms governing the initiation of turbidity currents are reviewed, alon...
متن کاملSpatio-temporal evolution of velocity structure, concentration and grain- size stratification within experimental particulate gravity currents
We describe a flume study of the spatio-temporal evolution of particulate gravity currents. Time series of the vertical structure of flow in terms of the forward component of velocity, flow concentration and grain-size of suspended sediment were co-measured at a different position along the flume for each of a series of nominally identical flows. The data are combined to show the spatial evolut...
