Driven around the bend: spatial evolution and controls on the orientation of helical bend flow in a natural submarine gravity current

Submarine channel systems transport vast amounts of terrestrial sediment into the deep sea. Understanding the dynamics of the gravity currents that create these systems, and in particular how these flows interact with and form bends, is fundamental to predicting system architecture and evolution. Be...
