Subaqueous sediment gravity flows undergoing progressive solidification
نویسندگان
چکیده
Highly concentrated sediment flows may occur following failures of loosely compacted, granular slopes underwater or in waterfront areas. The mobility of such sediment flows is of considerable interest to the integrity of coastal fills, underwater pipelines and other such marine facilities. However, the physics of highly concentrated sediment-water mixtures is complex in nature and calls for more development through fundamental approaches (Shanmugam 1996; Ilstad et al. 2004).

Dynamics of Liquefied Sediment Flow 95 the Dynamics of Liquefied Sediment Flow Undergoing Progressive Solidification
The propagation of solidified zones in the course of subaqueous liquefied sediment flow is theoretically discussed. The coupled systems of Navier-Stokes equations and consolidation equation are numerically solved under moving boundary conditions, with consideration of the concurrent evolutions of the flow surface as well as of the internally formed interface between the fluid and solidified zon...
متن کاملThe Role of Negative Buoyancy in the Morphodynamics of River Dominated Shelves: a Global Synthesis
This study synthesized knowledge regarding waveand current-supported sediment gravity flows and their importance to shelf deposition and morphology. Data and publications from STRATAFORM, EuroSTRATAFORM and several river-nourished shelves in Asia and the Western Pacific were reviewed and models for wave-supported fluid muds and resulting gravity flows were applied. Field and modeling evidence s...
متن کاملTransition from debris flow to hyperconcentrated flow in a submarine channel (the Cretaceous Cerro Toro Formation, southern Chile)
Debris flow is an important sedimenttransport mechanism in subaerial and subaqueous environments. Its properties change almost continuously as sediment and water are added to or subtracted from it (Smith and Lowe, 1991; Vallance, 2000). In subaerial environments, debris flows are commonly diluted into hyperconcentrated flows when they encounter a streamflow (Pierson and Costa, 1987; Costa, 1988...
متن کاملNew evidence of Yangtze delta recession after closing of the Three Gorges Dam
Many deltas are likely undergoing net erosion because of rapid decreases in riverine sediment supply and rising global sea levels. However, detecting erosion in subaqueous deltas is usually difficult because of the lack of bathymetric data. In this study, by comparing bathymetric data between 1981 and 2012 and surficial sediment grain sizes from the Yangtze subaqueous delta front over the last ...
متن کاملSubaqueous deltaic formation on the Atchafalaya Shelf, Louisiana
The Atchafalaya River in Louisiana shares the third largest drainage basin in the world with the Mississippi River. Sediment cores and seismic profiles were used to examine the development and impact on land accretion of an early-stage subaqueous delta accumulating on the shallow (b25 m water depth) continental shelf seaward of the Atchafalaya River mouths in the period (~100 years) since the A...
