Velocity Structure of Density Currents Propagating over Rough Beds

The Front Condition for Gravity Currents Propagating over Rough Boundaries

Gravity currents – fluid flows generated by horizontal density gradients – are ubiquitous in the environment. An area of increasing interest in this general field is the interaction of gravity currents with boundary roughness, where that roughness may be of the scale of the current itself. This paper describes an experimental study investigating the impact of varying boundary roughness densitie...

Hydrodynamics Analysis of Density Currents

Density Current is formed when a fluid with heavier density than the surrounding fluid flows down an inclined bed. These types of flows are common in nature and can be produced by; salinity, temperature inhomogeneities, or suspended particles of silt and clay. Driven by the density difference between inflow and clear water in reservoirs, density current plunges clear water and moves towards a d...
