The unsteady overtopping of barriers by gravity currents and dam-break flows (2023)
Journal Article
Skevington, E. W., & Hogg, A. J. (2023). The unsteady overtopping of barriers by gravity currents and dam-break flows. Journal of Fluid Mechanics, 960, Article A27. https://doi.org/10.1017/jfm.2023.187

The collision of a gravitationally driven horizontal current with a barrier following release from a confining lock is investigated using a shallow water model of the motion, together with a sophisticated boundary condition capturing the local intera...

Dam-break reflection (2021)
Journal Article

The unsteady reflection of dam-break flow along a horizontal channel by a remote barrier is modelled using the nonlinear shallow water equations. The interaction generates an upstream moving bore that connects the collapsing reservoir of fluid to a r... Read More about Dam-break reflection.

Development of supercritical motion and internal jumps within lock-release radial currents and draining flows (2021)
Journal Article
Skevington, E. W. G., Hogg, A. J., & Ungarish, M. (2021). Development of supercritical motion and internal jumps within lock-release radial currents and draining flows. Physical Review Fluids, 6(6), Article 063803. https://doi.org/10.1103/physrevfluids.6.063803

The unsteady radial flow of a relatively dense fluid released from an axisymmetric lock is analyzed when it freely drains over an edge and when it generates a gravity current propagating over a horizontal surface. In both situations when modeled usin... Read More about Development of supercritical motion and internal jumps within lock-release radial currents and draining flows.

Unsteady draining of reservoirs over weirs and through constrictions (2019)
Journal Article
Skevington, E. W. G., & Hogg, A. J. (2020). Unsteady draining of reservoirs over weirs and through constrictions. Journal of Fluid Mechanics, 882, Article A9. https://doi.org/10.1017/jfm.2019.808

The gravitationally driven flow of fluid from a reservoir following the partial collapse of its confining dam, or the partial opening of its confining lock, is modelled using the nonlinear shallow water equations, coupled to outflow conditions, in wh...

Paper 4: Instabilities in downslope propagating gravity currents
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Skevington, E. W. G., Lloyd, C. J., Atoufi, A., & Doak, A. (2023, July). Paper 4: Instabilities in downslope propagating gravity currents. Presented at NFFDy Summer Programme on ‘Data in Fluids’, Cambridge

In this paper, the stability of a gravity current propagating down an inclined channel is explored. The gravity current is generated through a partial lock release. A local analysis of the flow about the lock is conducted using classical methodologie... Read More about Paper 4: Instabilities in downslope propagating gravity currents.
