An experimental study of particle-driven gravity currents on steep slopes with entrainment of particles
Abstract. Results of laboratory experiments are presented in which a finite suspension of sawdust particles was released instantaneously into a rectangular channel immersed in a water tank. Two kinds of gravity currents were studied: currents with or without entrainment of particles from the bed. Experiments were repeated for two slopes: 30 and 45. We observed that the velocity of the front was...
متن کاملCfd Modelling of Buoyancy-driven Natural Ventilation Opposed by Wind
This paper presents CFD simulations of natural displacement ventilation airflows in which the buoyancy force produced by a heat source is opposed by a wind force. Cases investigated focus on windbuoyancy force relationships for which a two-layer stratification is maintained. CFD predictions of the position of the interface separating the two layers and the change in reduced gravity (temperature...
متن کاملNumerical Modelling of Two-dimensional and Axisymmetric Gravity Currents
A series of two-dimensional, axisymmetric and three-dimensional numerical flow simulations using an Implicit Large Eddy Simulation (ILES) are carried out for gravity-driven fluid flows, the results are compared directly with experiments undertaken to test the model. Two-dimensional results show that the Large Eddy algorithm is successful in modelling a gravity current’s large scale structure. E...
متن کاملGravity-driven enhancement of heavy particle clustering in turbulent flow.
Heavy particles suspended in a turbulent flow settle faster than in a still fluid. This effect stems from a preferential sampling of the regions where the fluid flows downward and is quantified here as a function of the level of turbulence, of particle inertia, and of the ratio between gravity and turbulent accelerations. By using analytical methods and detailed, state-of-the-art numerical simu...
متن کاملMixing in gravity currents
We study entrainment in lock-release gravity currents using highly spatially resolved optical transmission experiments and quantitative analysis of the available potential energy of the flow. The principal results provide a resolution to the debate regarding the mechanism and degree of mixing in the head of a gravity current during the slumping phase. The nature of the complex internal mixing s...
