Double-diffusive lock-exchange gravity currents
The dynamics of double-diffusive gravity currents exhibiting the fingering instability were examined using 2D and 3D simulations of a lock exchange initial configuration. It was found that although the spreading of the currents was governed by a balance of buoyancy and turbulent drag forces, currents with more intense fingering spread faster than those with less intense or no fingering. This wa...
متن کاملNumerical Modelling of Two-dimensional and Axisymmetric Gravity Currents
A series of two-dimensional, axisymmetric and three-dimensional numerical flow simulations using an Implicit Large Eddy Simulation (ILES) are carried out for gravity-driven fluid flows, the results are compared directly with experiments undertaken to test the model. Two-dimensional results show that the Large Eddy algorithm is successful in modelling a gravity current’s large scale structure. E...
متن کاملThree-Dimensional Simulation of Qeshm Channel Currents
Qeshm Channel is a shallow and narrow waterway located between Qeshm Island and the mainland in the vicinity of Hormuzgan Province, Islamic Republic of Iran. This channel is important because of its economic, industrial, fisheries and navigation role it plays as well as environmental issues it presents in the region. A prognostic study was performed to simulate currents in this channel, using C...
متن کاملStationary axisymmetric solutions of five dimensional gravity
We consider stationary axisymmetric solutions of general relativity that asymptote to five dimensional Minkowski space. It is known that this system has a hidden SL(3,R) symmetry. We identify an SO(2,1) subgroup of this symmetry group that preserves the asymptotic boundary conditions. We show that the action of this subgroup on a static solution generates a one-parameter family of stationary so...
