Emerging technologies such as deep-sea mining and geoengineering pose fundamentally
new questions regarding the dynamics of gravity currents. Such activities can continuously …

Understanding gravity currents developing on complex topography, which involve
turbulence and mixing processes on a wide range of spatial and temporal scales, is of …

Quasi-steady gravity currents propagating first on a horizontal and then up a sloping
boundary are investigated by means of theoretical analysis and laboratory experiments. 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 …

Predicting the consequences of colliding gravity currents remains one of the most significant
challenges in geophysical fluid dynamics. While the collision phenomenon has long been …

We present experimental results of rotating downslope gravity currents performed at the
Coriolis Platform in Grenoble, France. A novel experimental design to produce the …

The collision of two opposing, horizontal gravity currents is investigated numerically using
Large Eddy Simulation (LES). The classical lock-exchange configuration is considered for …

We consider the initial 'slumping phase'of a lock-release gravity current (GC) on a down
slope with focus on particle-driven (turbidity) flows, in the inertia–buoyancy (large Reynolds …

We present results from laboratory experiments of the downslope propagation of a finite
volume released gravity current by means of combined PIV/PLIF measurements. The …

Gravity currents are flows driven by the action of gravity over fluids with different densities.
Here, we focus on gravity currents where heavier fluid travels along the bottom of a sloping …
