abstract = {<p style="text-align: justify;">We propose a multi-layer approach to simulate hyperpycnal and hypopycnal
plumes in flows with free surface. The model allows to compute the vertical
profile of the horizontal and the vertical components of the velocity of the fluid flow.
The model can describe as well the vertical profile of the sediment concentration and
the velocity components of each one of the sediment species that form the turbidity
current. To do so, it takes into account the settling velocity of the particles and their
interaction with the fluid. This allows to better describe the phenomena than a single
layer approach. It is in better agreement with the physics of the problem and gives
promising results. The numerical simulation is carried out by rewriting the multilayer
approach in a compact formulation, which corresponds to a system with nonconservative
products, and using path-conservative numerical scheme. Numerical results
are presented in order to show the potential of the model.</p>},
