The Influence of Coriolis Forces on Flow Structures of Channelized Large-scale Turbidity Currents and their Depositional Patterns

Physical experiments are used to investigate the influence of the Coriolis forces on flow structures in channelized turbidity currents, and their implication for the evolution of straight and sinuous submarine channels. Initial tests were used to determine whether or not saline density currents are...
