Digital-elevation-models of the initial bathymetry. a The flume experiment with loss of confinement. The loss of confinement was generated by a decrease of the levee height 2.5 m downstream of the inlet box. b The reference flume experiment with a continuous pre-formed channel over the entire length of the slope. The substrate in both experiments was equivalent to that of the sediment mixture used to generate the turbidity currents. The channel dimensions, as well as the input conditions of the incoming turbidity current, were identical in both experiments. UVP Ultrasonic Velocimetry Probe
