Abstract
Subaquatic density currents and turbidity currents flowing down an incline are analyzed. By noting that at least depositing turbidity currents on a constant slope depend on the source conditions, it is proposed to consider them as self-preserving or as piecewise selfpreserving in analogy to other shear flows. The requirements for self-preservation are examined and the limiting conditions for realizable flows are derived.
