Since its introduction, in the early 1970s, large eddy simulations (LES) have advanced
considerably, and their application is transitioning from the academic environment to …

Entrainment and mixing in lock-exchange gravity currents are investigated by large eddy
simulations. Nine cases are analysed, varying the initial excess density driving the motion …

Sand transport and morphological change occur in the wave bottom boundary layer due to
sand particle interactions with an oscillatory flow and granular interactions between …

Lock-exchange gravity currents propagating up a slope are investigated by large eddy
simulations, focusing on the entrainment and mixing processes occurring between the …

The Antarctic Ice Sheet loses about half its mass through ocean-driven melting of its fringing
ice shelves. However, the ocean processes governing ice shelf melting are not well …

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 …

Abstract The Antarctic Ice Sheet is losing mass as a result of increased ocean-driven melting
of its fringing ice shelves. Efforts to represent the effects of basal melting in sea level …

This work concerns oscillatory boundary layers over smooth beds. It comprises combined
visual and quantitative techniques including bed shear stress measurements. The …

Large-eddy simulations of turbulent Rayleigh-Bénard convection were conducted for a fluid
of Prandtl number Pr= 0.7 confined in a cube, for Rayleigh numbers of 10 6 and 10 8. The …

In the present paper we propose an extension of the direct-forcing immersed boundary
technique, recently developed and employed by Verzicco and co-authors [Fadlun EA …
