Outline of Final Research Achievements

Recent field observation revealed that there are abundant “cyclic steps” (CS) formed by turbidity currents (TC) in the submarine channels and their vicinity. Here we did the first experiments on the formation of CS due to the “surge-type” TCs, and showed that the “surge-type” TCs can form CS easier compare with the continuous TC which has equivalent unit-time discharge. Experimental TCs, which is mixture of plastic particles and salt water, were released to the 7-m-long flume at Osaka Institute of Technology, with the surge durations 3, 5, 7 seconds. 130-140 surges were released into the flume for each case, and 5-6 CS were formed.
Based on these experimental results, analytical analysis and numerical simulation were performed. In addition, we applied the experimental results to rock records. We made a depositional model for the sediment waves observed in turbidites in the Miyazaki Group, Kyusyu, Japan, based on the extensive long-distance drawing of the sedimentary structures.
