Gravity Currents Produced by Lock Exchanges: Experiments and Simulations with a Two-Layer Shallow-Water Model with Entrainment (2012, background): “This assumption is quite realistic in many gravity currents phenomena (Benjamin 1968; Shin et al. 2004).”
Numerical simulations of lock-exchange compositional gravity current (2009, methodology): “This case was studied experimentally and analytically by, among others, Huppert & Simpson (1980), Rottman & Simpson (1983), Choi & Garcia (1995), Hacker, Linden & Dalziel (1996) and Shin et al. (2004).”
On the front velocity of gravity currents (2007, background): “Shin et al. (2004) and Marino et al. (2005) define a local equivalent height in an unambiguous way as h̃(x̃, ỹ, t̃) = ∫ 1 0 ρ̃ dz̃ , (4.1) and this definition is adopted herein.”
Turbidity Currents and Their Deposits (2010, background): “A more recent, alternative theoretical treatment by Shin et al. (2004) yields Fr = 1.”
The front condition for gravity currents (2005, methodology): “Also shown in the figure are experimental results reported by Rottman & Simpson (1983) and Shin et al. (2004). We see that the data are consistent, and they show a reduction in the Froude number based on the initial reduced gravity and depth of dense fluid. This reduction is consistent with the theo”
