    • Data repository: The role of sand fraction in mud-dominant wave-supported gravity flows 

      Han, Zhuochen; Horner-Devine, Alexander; Ogston, Andrea; Hsu, Tian-Jian (2020-07-18)
      We performed laboratory experiments to investigate the influence of sand content on the dynamics of wave-supported gravity flows in mud-dominant environments. The experiments were carried out in an oscillatory water tunnel ...

    • Lobe-Cleft Instabilities on a river plume front 

      Horner-Devine, Alexander; Chickadel, Chris (2016-05-12)
      These data accompany a paper submitted to Geophysical Research Letters. The abstract is below. Gravity currents represent a broad class of geophysical flows including turbidity currents, powder avalanches, pyroclastic ...

    • Wave generation of gravity-driven sediment flows on a predominantly sandy seabed 

      Flores Audibert, Raul; Rijnsburger, Sabine; Meirelles, Saulo; Horner-Devine, Alexander; Souza, Alejandro; Pietrzak, Julie; Henriquez, Martijn; Reniers, Ad (2018)
      Wave-supported gravity flows (WSGF) generate rates of sediment flux far exceeding other cross-shelf transport processes, contributing disproportionately to shelf morphology and net cross-shelf fluxes of sediment in many ...

    • Wave-Supported Gravity Currents Project: Experimental data from UW Sediment-Wave tank. Zero slope 

      Hooshmand, Abbas; Horner-Devine, Alexander (2015-03-01)
      Paper abstract: We present results from laboratory experiments in a wave flume with and without a sediment bed to investigate the turbulent structure and sediment dynamics of wave-supported mud layers. The presence of ...
