Abstract: Process-oriented hydrodynamic modeling is employed to study the interaction of along-slope flows with an idealized submarine shelfbreak canyon. The model is forced via prescription of oscillatory flows superposed on steady ...

Abstract: The role of submarine canyons and channels in sediment-driven downslope flow (sediment plumes) is examined, using a three-dimensional, rotational numerical model that couples the hydrodynamics and sediment transport. The ...
