Physical and numerical modelling of air-water flows: An introductory overview

C Gualtieri, H Chanson - Environmental Modelling & Software, 2021 - Elsevier
In free-surface turbulent flows, large amount of air may be entrapped and advected in the
water current. The resulting air-water flows are frequently observed in natural water systems …
