Lock-release inertial gravity currents over a thick porous layer
This paper examines the motion of a dense fluid that develops as an inertial gravity current of decreasing mass above a horizontal porous bed, while flow described by Darcy’s law occurs in the bed. Measurements of the mass and the front position of the current in a set of laboratory experiments performed by changing different parameters are presented. The results are explained by means of a glo...
متن کاملDouble-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 کاملDynamics of lock-release gravity currents over sparse and dense rough bottoms
Dense oceanic overflows mix with surrounding waters along the descent down the continental slope. The existing parameterizations for entrainment in dense currents account primarily for the shear-induced entrainment at the interface between the dense flow and the ambient fluid. However, the turbulence generated by roughness elements at the bottom boundary, which produces an enhanced drag, can be...
متن کاملThe Front Condition for Gravity Currents Propagating over Rough Boundaries
Gravity currents – fluid flows generated by horizontal density gradients – are ubiquitous in the environment. An area of increasing interest in this general field is the interaction of gravity currents with boundary roughness, where that roughness may be of the scale of the current itself. This paper describes an experimental study investigating the impact of varying boundary roughness densitie...
متن کاملan infinite planar array of rectangular microstrip patch antenna analysis
the methods which are used to analyze microstrip antennas, are divited into three categories: empirical methods, semi-empirical methods and full-wave analysis. empirical and semi-empirical methods are generally based on some fundamental simplifying assumptions about quality of surface current distribution and substrate thickness. thses simplificatioms cause low accuracy in field evaluation. ful...
