Plunging Flow

Plunging condition for particle-laden flows over sloping bottoms: three-dimensional turbulence-resolving simulations

Hyperpycnal flows are observed when the density of a fluid entering into a quiescent environment is greater than that of the ambient fluid. This difference can be due to salinity, temperature, concentration, turbidity, or a combination of them. Over …

The Plunging of Hyperpycnal Plumes on Tilted Bed by Three-Dimensional Large-Eddy Simulations

Theoretical and experimental interest in transport and deposition of sediments from rivers to oceans has increased rapidly over the last two decades. The marine ecosystem is strongly affected by mixing at river mouths, with for instance anthropogenic …

Analysis of the Plunging of Hyperpycnal Flows on Tilted bed by Large-Eddy Simulations

Hyperpycnal flows are observed when the density of a fluid entering in a quiescent basin is greater than that in the ambient fluid. This difference can be due to temperature, salinity, turbidity, concentration, or a combination of them. When the …

Three‐Dimensional Turbulence‐Resolving Simulations of the Plunge Phenomenon in a Tilted Channel

Abstract Hyperpycnal flows are produced when the density of a fluid flowing in a relatively quiescent basin is greater than the density of the fluid in the basin. The density differences can be due to the difference in temperatures, salinity, …
