Abstract
We present a mathematical model for the study of the aquatic settling process of resurge sediments after a marine-target impact with cratering of the seafloor. Fragments from the solid target are mixed with the seawater. After an initial turbulent phase the suspended solid particles begin to settle. Previous studies of resurge sediments in drill cores from several craters indicate a relationship between the sedimentology, the target water depth, and the magnitude of the event [1]. Here we investigate the physics behind the relationship.
