Abstract: Laboratory experiments on wind‐driven mixed‐layer deepening in a wind flume are described for the situation where the wind shear stress has become balanced by a streamwise pressure gradient so that the mean mixed‐layer ...

Abstract: An integral model of the front of a gravity current advancing into flowing receiving fluid of slightly smaller density is presented. The analysis is an extension of that given by Benjamin in 1968 in that boundary‐layer ...

Abstract: A severe restriction to dilution discharge measurements is that they are to be applied to steady-flow conditions only. Using a computational model, dilution discharge measurements by constant-rate injection are simulated ...

Abstract: The rupture of a submarine oil pipeline gives rise to various mechanisms leading to an oil spill. Among these mechanisms, the leakage of oil driven by the difference in specific gravities of oil and seawater is difficult ...

Abstract: A quasi‐three‐dimensional numerical model composed of two coupled modules has been developed for computing circulations in shallow waters. The depth‐averaged flow is computed in one of the modules, and the vertical ...

Abstract: A mathematical model and laboratory experiments are described that deal with two‐layer flow over small‐scale bottom topography in relatively shallow, (partially) stratified estuaries. The mathematical model is based on ...

Abstract: A determining factor for the performance of secondary settling tanks is the occurrence of gravity currents. Experiments were carried out in a laboratory model of a circular, center‐feed settling tank. The gravity currents ...

Abstract: The presence of fluid mud on inclined beds can cause high transport rates because of sliding due to the gravity force. In the present paper, gravity currents of fluid mud on sloping beds have been studied experimentally; ...
