Turbidity currents are important ocean dynamic processes that influence sediment transport,
ocean engineering, and marine environments. As a turbidity current evolves, its macroscopic …

The influence of bottom roughness on the development of lock-release gravity currents is
investigated through laboratory experiments using Particle Image Velocimetry. The bottom …

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

When a gravity current interacts with a barrier the flow is reflected back in the form of a
moving hydraulic jump or bore. This latter phenomenon has important implications for …

A large-scale experimental study has been conducted at the Coriolis Rotating Platform to
investigate the dynamics of uni-and bi-directional exchange flows along a channel with a …

In nature, density driven currents often flow over or within a bottom roughness: a sea breeze
encountering tall buildings, a shallow flow encountering aquatic vegetation, or a dense …

Entrainment in a Dense Current Flowing Down a Rough Sloping Bottom in a Rotating Fluid in:
Journal of Physical Oceanography Volume 47 Issue 3 (2017) Jump to Content Jump to Main …

A fundamental study has been conducted to understand the front characteristics and the
mixing in the flow of density currents over rough surfaces. A large-eddy simulation (LES) has …

We present the results of laboratory investigations of continuously-fed density currents that
propagate first over a smooth horizontal bed and then over a porous substrate of limited …

The structure and propagation of lock-release bottom gravity currents in a linearly stratified
ambient with the presence of a submerged canopy are investigated for the first time using …
