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 …
