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

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 …

Numerical simulations of stratified shear flow instabilities are performed in two dimensions in
the Boussinesq limit. The density variation length scale is chosen to be four times smaller …

This paper presents new laboratory-scale numerical simulations of density-driven exchange
flows generated across an idealised, submerged sill obstruction under both non-rotating and …

Laboratory experiments were conducted to study the effect of locally enhanced bottom
roughness in a density-stratified two-layer flow down a slope. Three bottom roughness …

Results are presented from a series of large-scale experiments investigating the internal and
near-bed dynamics of bi-directional stratified flows with a net-barotropic component across a …

Particle-Image-Velocimetry (PIV) has been applied to many different environmental flows in
the last twelve years at the Institute for Hydromechanics, Karlsruhe Institute of Technology …

Understanding and being able to predict fluvial processes is one of the biggest challenges
for hydraulics and environmental engineers, hydrologists and other scientists interested in …

Two-layer stratified flows are commonly observed in geophysical and environmental
contexts. At the interface between the two layers, both velocity shear and buoyancy …

Turbidity currents are one of the more frequently observed types of stratified flows. In these
currents, the density difference is created as a result of suspended particles. The interfacial …
