Evolution of freely propagating, two-dimensional surface gravity current fronts

This work addresses the 2D propagation and shape evolution of surface gravity current fronts with a surface density outcrop frontal line. The problem is formulated using the reduced gravity shallow water equations, and the gravity currents are assumed to advance into a fluid at rest. We formulate a...
