Modeling the Impact of Extreme Events on Margin Sedimentation
Abstract
A vertical structure finite volume model has been developed to study density and turbidity current in the coastal ocean. The model incorporates different turbulence closure schemes. The model successfully simulates the generation of internal waves due to the passage of a density current in a stratified medium. Model results also show that at the laboratory scales different turbulence closure schemes lead to the prediction of fairly similar results.
