The Effect Of Clay Type On The Properties Of Cohesive Sediment Gravity Flows And Their Deposits
Published: 2017-10-23
Subjects: Earth Sciences, Physical Sciences and Mathematics, Sedimentology
The present knowledge of cohesive clay-laden sediment gravity flows (SGFs) and their deposits is limited, despite clay being one of the most abundant sediment types on earth and subaqueous SGFs transporting large volumes of sediment into the ocean. Lock-exchange experiments were conducted to contrast SGFs laden with noncohesive silica flour, weakly cohesive kaolinite, and strongly cohesive [...]
