Turbidity currents are frequently observed in natural and man-made environments, with the
potential of adversely impacting the performance and functionality of hydraulic structures …

Unconfined three-dimensional gravity currents generated by lock exchange using a small
dividing gate in a sufficiently large tank are investigated by means of large eddy simulations …

The dynamics of lock-release gravity currents flowing up a sloping bottom are investigated

Few studies have addressed simultaneously the feedback between the hydrodynamics of a
gravity current and the geomorphological changes of a mobile bed. Hydrodynamic …

Gravity currents modify their flow characteristics by entraining ambient fluid, which depends
on a variety of governing parameters such as the initial density, Δρ, the total initial height of …

The influence of the grid resolution on the large eddy simulation (LES) of a lock-exchange
turbidity current is investigated. The simulations are performed using a finite volume …

Gravity currents are flows produced by a density difference between two fluids. Non-intrusive
density measurements, based on image analysis, are employed to measure the …

This numerical work investigates the potential of a high-order finite-difference spectral
vanishing viscosity approach to simulate gravity currents at high Reynolds numbers. The …

High-resolution three-dimensional large-eddy simulations are used to investigate the effects
of internal solitary waves (ISWs) breaking over a sloping boundary. The lock release method …

The dynamics of lock-release Intrusive Gravity Currents (IGCs) generating Internal Solitary
Waves (ISWs) are investigated by three-dimensional large eddy simulations. We set the …
