Front Condition for Gravity Currents in Channels of Nonrectangular Symmetric Cross-Section Shapes
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: We study the variation of the Froude number at the front of gravity currents developed in uniform channels whose cross-section shape depends on a parameter usually used in many numerical and ...
Spreading of a Gravity Current over a Permeable Surface
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Plane inertial gravity currents running over horizontal permeable surfaces are studied. An analytical simple model based on local and global balances is derived which describes the propagation and infiltration of an ...
Inertial Density Currents over Porous Media Limited by Different Lower Boundary Conditions
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: We study the evolution of two-dimensional high-Reynolds-number density currents propagating over horizontal porous substrates initially saturated with a lighter fluid when an impermeable surface under the bed is used and ...
Buoyancy-Driven Flow in Two Interconnected Rooms: Effects of the Exterior Vent Location and Size
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper describes scale-model laboratory experiments with salt-bath simulations, on the flow and stratification in two coupled rooms connected to the exterior by a single vent. The two rooms ...
