Gravity currents, such as sediment-laden turbidity currents, are ubiquitous natural flows that are driven by a density difference. Turbidity currents have provided vital motivation to advance understanding of this class of flows because their enigmat...

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...
