On the definition, evolution, and properties of the outer edge of gravity currents: A direct-numerical and large-eddy simulation study

Gravity currents are flows driven by the action of gravity over fluids with different densities. Here, we focus on gravity currents where heavier fluid travels along the bottom of a sloping bed, underneath a large body of stagnant lighter ambient fluid. The thickness of the current increases due to...
