In this review article, we discuss recent progress with regard to modeling gravity-driven, high
Reynolds number currents, with the emphasis on depth-resolving, high-resolution …

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

Turbidity currents, and other types of submarine sediment density flow, redistribute more
sediment across the surface of the Earth than any other sediment flow process, yet their …

We present new experiments of the motion of a turbulent gravity current produced by the
rapid release of a finite volume of dense aqueous solution from a lock of length. We discuss …

Submarine fans, supplied primarily by turbidity currents, constitute the largest sediment
accumulations on Earth. Generally accepted models of turbidity current behavior imply they …

The method of large-eddy simulation (LES) coupled with the density transport equation is
employed to simulate the evolution of a gravity-driven high-density turbidity current and its …

We present measurements of the entrainment of ambient fluid into high-Reynolds-number
gravity currents produced by a steady flux of buoyancy. The currents propagate along a …

Gravitationally driven motion arising from a sustained constant source of dense fluid in a
horizontal channel is investigated theoretically using shallow-layer models and direct …

Low-temperature air infiltration and vertical thermal stratification lead to an unsatisfied
bottom-occupied environment of the atrium and increase the space heating load in winter …

Abstract Direct Numerical Simulations are employed to investigate the mixing dynamics of
turbidity currents interacting with seamounts of various heights. The mixing properties are …
