    I love how you can see the seiches so clearly in the first shot. Thank you for uploading!

    Extremely useful information and well presented. With this information I was able to design and then develop my own turbidity curtain that worked extremely well. Thanks

    reminds me of the haboobs in Arizona or a pyroclastic flow

    I've noticed with the flume, there's an effect of the wave cycles on the flow. Would it be possible to do an example of the flow below wave base? I'm working on canyon infilling right now in barrier reef systems, most of these occur on the shelf break, so the present day flushing wouldn't really be affected as much. Excellent video to watch, really made it much easier to visualise. Cheers!

    Thanks, I was reading about turbidity currents and couldn't understand what I was reading. The visual example helped a lot. Why does the grey sediment move separately from the host body of water?

    OK if I'm getting chased by a pyroclastic flow and I can't escape to the sides, I will look for the biggest object I can climb. Should buy me several more seconds to evaluate my fate.

    Question: Why does the turbidity stay at the bottom and progrades at the bottom extending outwards instead of spreading everywhere in the water? Does it have to do with the density of the material that was used for the experiment? Thank you.

    Thanks for the video. Please tell me, what material did you use to show the turbidity current?

    Glen Heapy I beleive it was mostly clay with some silt, but I don't remember for sure.

    What sort of paint would work well in this? What are the properties of clay and silt that make it flow so far into the tank?

    Looks like a pyroclastic density current or a dust storm
