Equilibrium sediment transport by dilute turbidity currents: Comparison of competence-based and capacity-based models (2021)
Journal Article
Amy, L., & Dorrell, R. (in press). Equilibrium sediment transport by dilute turbidity currents: Comparison of competence-based and capacity-based models. Sedimentology, https://doi.org/10.1111/sed.12921Equilibrium sediment transport is the condition of zero net entrainment and deposition by sediment-transporting flow (i.e. grade or regime). Here criteria for equilibrium sediment transport, or those used as proxies for equilibrium (for example, onse...

Observations of large-scale coherent structures in gravity currents: implications for flow dynamics (2021)
Journal Article
Marshall, C. R., Dorrell, R. M., Keevil, G. M., Peakall, J., & Tobias, S. M. (2021). Observations of large-scale coherent structures in gravity currents: implications for flow dynamics. Experiments in Fluids, 62(6), Article 120. https://doi.org/10.1007/s00348-021-03217-4Density driven flows, also known as gravity currents, comprise a head, body, and tail. Yet whilst the body typically forms the largest part of such flows, its structure remains poorly understood. In this work, experimental data gathered using particl...
