Abstract:The behavior of the steady intrusive gravity current of thickness h and density ρ c which propagates with speed U at the neutral buoyancy level of a long horizontal channel of height H into a stratified ambient fluid whose density increases linearly from ρ o to ρ b is investigated. The intrusive and the ambient fluids are assumed to be asymmetric with respect to the neutral-buoyancy level. The Boussinesq, high-Reynolds number two-dimensional configuration is considered. Long's model combined with the flow-forc… Show more
