These flows are typically unsteady, dense, and often develop a concentrated basal near bed layer, yet their dynamics remain poorly understood due to the challenges of in-situ observation. To address this gap, the study combines innovative laboratory experiments with the development of a new multi-layer shallow water model. The experimental setup includes a rapidly tilting flume to reproduce an unsteady, uniform flow conditions, allowing for the study of sediment stratification. Also, lock-exchange experiments are conducted to examine high-density sediment-laden currents, such as turbidity flows. The collected dataset will be used to validate the newly developed model, which accounts for key processes affecting velocity and sediment concentration profiles. By improving the prediction of flow behaviour, this work will support more accurate vulnerability assessments for coastal and offshore infrastructure.<\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-separator fusion-full-width-sep\" style=\"align-self: center;margin-left: auto;margin-right: auto;margin-top:60px;width:100%;\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"100-width.php","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-2260","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 -
