What is the origin of deep-water sand bodies?
• Turbidity currents? (low density, dominant turbulence)
• Debris flows? (high density, laminar, 1) cohesive? 2) non-cohesive?)

Numerical experiment 1
• Transport of a single sand particle through a free surface laminar flow
• Lift and Drag force• Results: a few km
runout at most: not an efficient process

Numerical experiment 2: A simple model for fluidized sand
• Calculation of settling velocity and runout of an inclined granular bed.
• Settling is hindered by water expelled from beneath (Richardson-Zaki).
• The material not yet settled is modeled as a laminar free-surface flow
• What are the boundary conditions at the top?

Processes that could potentially improve sand transport in the ocean
• Turbulence (generally accepted view).
• Fluidization.
• Importance of clay, even little clay increases viscosity/improves cohesion lubricated (hydroplaning) flow
• Sand waves.

Conclusions and future plans
• CONCLUSIONS• Water increases mobility • Potential for sand
transport in the dense phase 1) sand packed in the clay matrix?) 2) Fluidization?
3) Sand waves?
• Scaling problems
• FUTURE PLANS• Experiments with
different volumes and different grain sizes
• Direct numerical simulation of high-density fluidization

What model for clay-poor debris flows?
• Some existing models: Savage-Hutter (SH), Norem Irgens Schielthorp (NIS), Iverson Denlinger (ID)
• Granular: YES Turbulence: NO• Macroviscous regime not addressed only in NIS
• Direct Models ?

Prompt disitengration of the debris flow
• 1) disintegration of the mass: the yield stress drops dramatically
• 2) settling and stratification

Existing models: e.g.: NIS model
• Mud with plug and shear layers– plasticity, viscosity, and visco-elasticity
• dry friction (no cohesion in code)• dynamic shear (thinning)• dispersive pressure

I-D model
• Depth integrated, three-dimensional model • Accounts for the exchange of fluid between
different parts of the slurry due to diffusion and advection.
• Limitations for our purpose: water content of the slurry must not change, no cohesion, no turbulence
