**Abstract** Natural, moderately loosely packed sands can only erode from the surface of the bed after an increase in pore volume. Because of this shear dilatancy, negative pore pressures are generated in the bed. In cases of low permeability, these negative pressures are released relatively slowly,
This paper presents the results of laboratory experiments and numerical simulations carried out in order to understand the mechanism of sediment-wave formation by turbidity currents. Experimental turbidity currents were generated in a 10-m-long laboratory flume, so as to investigate the topographic
