Sediment-laden gravity currents, or turbidity currents, are density-driven flows that transport
vast quantities of particulate material across the floor of lakes and oceans. Turbidity currents …

In the transition area between the North Sea and the Baltic Sea entrainment processes
dominate the vertical mixing in the inflowing saline bottom water. The hot spots of these …

Process-product studies have been central to the development of process sedimentology
over the past few decades, with the ability to first measure flows, and then examine the …

There is a growing need across different disciplines to develop better predictive tools for flow
conditions of density and turbidity currents. Apart from resorting to complex numerical …

The generation of residual circulation in a tidally energetic estuary with constant longitudinal
salinity gradient and parabolic cross section is examined by means of a two-dimensional …

The present work experimentally investigates the dynamics of unsteady gravity currents
produced by lock-release of a saline mixture into a fresh water tank. Seven different …

In this review paper, state-of-the-art observational and numerical modeling methods for
small scale turbulence and mixing with applications to coastal oceans are presented in one …

The ventilation of the Baltic Sea deep water is driven by either gale-forced barotropic or
baroclinic salt water inflows. During the past two decades, the frequency of large barotropic …

In this paper, a time-dependent dynamic equation for the potential energy anomaly, ϕ, is
rigorously derived from dynamic equations for potential temperature and salinity, the …

A new strategy for the vertical gridding in terrain-following 3D ocean models is presented
here. The vertical grid adaptivity is partially given by a vertical diffusion equation for the …
