Abstract

Turbidites are amongst the largest deposits on earth, but linking fluid processes and sedimentary processes to deposits can be difficult. Here we show that it is feasible to study the link between flow dynamics and flow deposits by the use of a numerical model. This method is able to produce detailed facies maps, to find generalised depositional signatures of flows with different characteristics. Additionally, the method aides a better understanding of processes shaping bed-morphologies and deposits, as flow-conditions at the flow-bed interface are known over time and space. We envision that such process-based modelling approaches can in future be used to improve geostatistical reservoir-modelling tools.
