We describe a new field campaign over a steep, snowy 30^ ∘ 30∘ alpine slope, designed to
investigate three recurrent issues in experimental studies of steep-slope katabatic winds.(1) …

Direct numerical simulations (DNS) of temporally evolving shear layers have been
performed to study the entrainment of irrotational flow into the turbulent region across the …

In this paper, we employ the theory of Lagrangian coherent structures for three-dimensional
vortex eduction and investigate the effect of large-scale vortical structures on the …

The present study aims to provide a statistical analysis of turbulence in the mixing layer of a
lock-exchange gravity current propagating over a 2% slope based on large eddy simulation …

We present an experimental investigation of entrainment and the dynamics near the
turbulent/non-turbulent interface in a dense gravity current. The main goal of the study is to …

Katabatic winds are very frequent but poorly understood or simulated over steep slopes.
This study focuses on a katabatic jet above a steep alpine slope. We assess the buoyancy …

We present experimental measurements of a wall-bounded gravity current, motivated by
characterizing natural gravity currents such as oceanic overflows. We use particle image …

We explore the dynamics of inclined temporal gravity currents using direct numerical
simulation, and find that the current creates an environment in which the flux Richardson …

We present simultaneous two-dimensional measurements of the velocity and buoyancy
fields on a central vertical plane in two-dimensional line plumes: a free plume distant from …

This study presents a two-dimensional (2D) direct numerical simulation (DNS) of the effects
of bed slope and sediment settling on the dynamic behaviors of lock-exchange turbidity …
