Abstract:
Flume tank experiments at Utrecht University in the EUROTANK show under which conditions a contourite system can form. This contourite system consisted of an elongated depression (moat) and an associated sediment accumulation (drift). In the flume tank, current dynamics were measured with an Ultrasonic Doppler velocimeter (UDOP 4000 velocimeter with 1 MHz probes), and the bathymetry was scanned with a laser. The bathymetric data were gridded with a cell size of 5 mm. To analyse the bathymetric data, we calculated the average along-slope elevation of a 70 cm wide swath in the middle of the tank and plotted the data as one cross-section.
