Fig. 10: Sensitivity of submarine shape to ranges in mud content.

From: A dimensionless framework for predicting submarine fan morphology

Fig. 10

Matrix shows the influence of cohesion on the resulting fan morphology by increasing input mud content from 5 to 60% at the inlet for a subset fans from the regime diagram. Note the final morphology in these models might be different i.e., placement of channels and lobes on the fan surface, however the overall shape remains similar. Color bar denotes the thickness of the fan at the end of the simulation.
