  abstract: Particulate gravity currents involve the movement of mixtures of particles and fluid under the influence of gravity. Examples in the natural environment include snow avalanches, pyroclastic flows and seafloor turbidity currents. Understanding how particles move, mix, stratify and settle has applications such as hazard mitigation and pollution management. Particulate Gravity Currents: Theory, Experiments, and Environmental Applications presents experimental, numerical and field studies of particulate gravity currents, offering new insights into their properties, behavior and dynamics. Volume highlights include explorations of cohesive and non-cohesive sediment and transport, applications of theoretical understanding to real-world subaerial and subaqueous processes, studies using the latest techniques, including 3D numerical simulation and broader relevance beyond the natural environment to other types of particulate and non-particulate gravity currents.
  table of contents: Sections: I. Nature and behavior of gravity currents -- II. Behavior of flows into stratified ambient fluid -- III. Behavior of flows at boundaries -- IV. Behavior of cohesive sediment -- V. Transport of noncohesive sediment -- VI. Behavior of pyroclastic density currents.
