The means by which fine
sediment is transported across low-gradient shelves has been a topic of
considerable debate. This work by Kämpf and Myrow addresses mechanisms involved in the cross-shelf transport of
suspended mud through a numerical model. The results highlight the fundamental
importance of gelling (a change from a water-supporting to sediment-supporting
system) and the mechanism of gelling initiation to the dynamics of such flows. The
numerical and conceptual insights improve understanding of suspended fluid-mud
flows, and to the advanced description and prediction of such flows.
