Abstract:This research aims to evaluate the effects of the presence of obstacles on turbidity currents hydrodynamics. Nine physical simulations of a poorly sorted mixture of water and coal (Cvol = 5%; D50 = 47 μm) were run in a laboratory test channel with three flow discharges (5, 10 and 15 L.min-1) in three different topographic configurations: runs without obstacles; runs with three 3 cm-high obstacles and runs with three 6 cm-high obstacles. The results showed that greater height of obstacles leads to greater block… Show more
