    The coalescence of adjacent turbulent plumes in a stratified and unstratified environment

    Plume merger has been the subject of a number of recent theoretical studies that employ turbulent plume theory (including Taylor’s entrainment hypothesis) with ambient fluid external to the plume described usi...

    Effect of Buoyant Convection on the Spreading and Draining of Porous Media Gravity Currents along a Permeability Jump

    We investigate theoretically the impact of adding convective dissolution to the sharp interface problem of gravity current propagation along a slo** permeability jump. Three different dissolution modes are e...

    Cooling tower plume abatement and plume modeling: a review

    Visible plumes above wet cooling towers are of great concern due to the associated aesthetic and environmental impacts. The parallel path wet/dry cooling tower is one of the most commonly used approaches for p...

    Tailwater gravity currents and their connection to perfectly subcritical flow: laboratory experiments and shallow-water and direct numerical solutions

    We report upon a series of laboratory experiments and complementary (two-dimensional) direct numerical simulations that explore the lock release of a fixed volume of dense fluid into a two-layer density-strati...

    The Effect of Sudden Permeability Changes in Porous Media Filling Box Flows

    We report upon experimental and analytical investigations of filling box flows in non-uniform porous media characterized by a sudden change in permeability. The porous medium consists of two layers separated b...

    Filling Box Flows in an Axisymmetric Porous Medium

    We present an analytical solution for buoyancy-driven “filling box” flows in axisymmetric porous media having closed bottom and side boundaries. The flow consists first and foremost of a descending, point sour...

    Axisymmetric gravity currents in two-layer density-stratified media

    Numerous studies have considered the flow of a rectilinear, high Reynolds number, Boussinesq gravity current through a two-layer stratified ambient, however, far less is known concerning the analogue axisymmet...

    Gravity currents in two-layer stratified media

    An analytical, experimental and numerical study of boundary gravity currents propagating through a two-layer stratified ambient of finite vertical extent is presented. Gravity currents are supposed to originat...

    Applying the discrete vortex method in environmental fluid mechanics: A study of the time-averaged near wake behind a circular cylinder

    This work illustrates the discrete vortex method (DVM) as a tool for simulating environmental fluid mechanics problems involving transport in the wake of a bluff body. The DVM was used to model both the long-t...
