Monopile-induced turbulence and sediment redistribution form visible wakes in offshore wind farms (2024)
Journal Article
Bailey, L. P., Dorrell, R. M., Kostakis, I., McKee, D., Parsons, D., Rees, J., Strong, J., Simmons, S., & Forster, R. (2024). Monopile-induced turbulence and sediment redistribution form visible wakes in offshore wind farms. Frontiers in Earth Science, 12, Article 1383726. https://doi.org/10.3389/feart.2024.1383726

Offshore wind farms are becoming an increasingly common feature in the marine environment as a renewable energy source. There is a growing body of evidence on the effects of wind farms on the seabed and its organisms. However, an important and unders...

Density stratification controls the bedform phase diagram of saline-gravity currents versus open-channel flows (2023)
Journal Article
Ohata, K., de Cala, I., Dorrell, R. M., Naruse, H., McLelland, S. J., Simmons, S. M., & McCaffrey, W. D. (in press). Density stratification controls the bedform phase diagram of saline-gravity currents versus open-channel flows. Sedimentology, https://doi.org/10.1111/sed.13075

Sedimentary bedforms such as ripples and dunes are generated both by river flows and sediment-laden gravity currents. Gravity current deposits are usually parameterized using existing bedform phase diagrams which are based on data from laboratory exp...

Relating the Flow Processes and Bedforms of Steady-State and Waning Density Currents (2020)
Journal Article
de Cala, I., Ohata, K., Dorrell, R., Naruse, H., Patacci, M., Amy, L. A., Simmons, S., McLelland, S. J., & McCaffrey, W. D. (2020). Relating the Flow Processes and Bedforms of Steady-State and Waning Density Currents. Frontiers in Earth Science, 8, Article 535743. https://doi.org/10.3389/feart.2020.535743

© Copyright© 2020 de Cala, Ohata, Dorrell, Naruse, Patacci, Amy, Simmons, McLelland and McCaffrey. The interaction between turbidity currents and mobile substrates can lead to the development of different types of bedforms. Although much research has...
