Turbidity Currents With Equilibrium Basal Driving Layers: A Mechanism for Long Runout
Abstract Turbidity currents run out over 100 km in lakes and reservoirs, and over 1,000 km in the ocean. They do so without dissipating themselves via excess entrainment of ambient water. Existing layer‐averaged formulations cannot capture this. We use a numerical model to describe the temporal evol...
