Particulate Gravity Currents: Theory, Experiments, and Environmental Applications

Exploring the properties, behavior, and dynamics of particulate gravity currents

Particulate gravity currents involve the movement of mixtures of particles and fluid under the influence of gravity. Examples in the natural environment include snow avalanches, pyroclastic flows, and seafloor turbidity currents. Understanding how particles move, mix, stratify, and settle has applications such as hazard mitigation and pollution management.
