This website provides short movies of density currents (turbidity currents.) The movies feature a one meter tank which shows what happens when a high density liquid is released into a lower density liquid. The angle of the tank can be varied, as can be the density of the liquids, which allows for different flow conditions to be observed. The site also features links to addition information about density currents. Movies require Quicktime Player.
