Abstract
The present knowledge of cohesive clay-laden sediment gravity flows (SGFs) and their deposits is limited, despite clay being one of the most abundant sediment types on earth and subaqueous SGFs transporting large volumes of sediment into the ocean. Lock-exchange experiments were conducted to contrast SGFs laden with noncohesive silica flour, weakly cohesive kaolinite, and strongly cohesive bentonite in terms of flow behavior, head velocity, runout distance, and deposit geometry across a wide range of suspended-sediment concentrations.
