Effect of air release height on the formation of sediment thermals in water

In this study, the underwater behaviour of sediment thermals (i.e. sediment clouds in the self-preserving phase), formed by releasing dry sediments instantaneously from various heights above water, was investigated experimentally. Measurements show that as the air release height increases, the initi...
