Paper 4: Instabilities in downslope propagating gravity currents (2024)
Conference Proceeding
Skevington, E. W. G., Lloyd, C. J., Atoufi, A., & Doak, A. (2024). Paper 4: Instabilities in downslope propagating gravity currents. In Proceedings of the NFFDy Summer Programme on ‘Data in Fluids’. https://doi.org/10.17863/CAM.107271

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.

Gravity current escape from a topographic depression (2024)
Journal Article
Skevington, E. W., & Hogg, A. J. (2024). Gravity current escape from a topographic depression. Physical Review Fluids, 9(1), Article 014802. https://doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevFluids.9.014802

An inertial gravity current released within a topographic depression may climb up the incline from a lower to an upper plateau if it is sufficiently energetic and then continue to flow unsteadily away from the step while simultaneously draining back...
