Direct numerical simulations (DNSs) of three-dimensional cylindrical release gravity currents
in a linearly stratified ambient are presented. The simulations cover a range of stratification …

We carry out high-resolution large-eddy simulation (LES) of stratified flows developing as
dense underflows over two different bed slopes of 5° and 15° in an laboratory-scale tank …

The lock-exchange problem is used extensively to study the flow dynamics of density-driven
flows, such as gravity currents, and as a canonical problem to mixing in stratified flows …

In the present investigation, we report data from direct numerical simulations of elliptical,
finite release, Boussinesq gravity currents propagating down a uniform slope. The study …

Turbidity currents occur widely in submarine environments, but field-scale numerical
simulations of the flow features have not been applied extensively. Here, we present a two …

Second-order central-upwind schemes proposed by Bryson et al.(2011) for the Saint–
Venant system have two very attractive properties: well-balanced and positivity preserving …

The coast is the contact zone between the continent and the sea. It is therefore likely to
collect polluted liquids coming from both the sea and the continent. This thesis considers the …

Density currents occur in a variety of natural and man-made scenarios, and this emphasises
the importance of studying them. The density-driven currents are the main agent for …
