Shallow-layer modelling of submarine turbidity currents

Turbidity currents are large-scale natural phenomena that consist of suspended sed- iment travelling over an impermeable underlying boundary. We employ a shallow- layer approach to model their dynamics, taking advantage of the fact that their streamwise length is much larger than their vertical heig...
