Application of the LANS-alpha Model to Gravity Currents
(University of Waterloo, 2019-10-21)This thesis aims to investigate how HERCULES performs when running a lock-exchange gravity current case. The LANS-alpha model with stratification is also tested as a subgrid model in HERCULES using the same gravity current ... -
Direct Numerical Simulation of Salt Fingering Gravity Currents and Double-Diffusive Rayleigh-Taylor Instabilities
(University of Waterloo, 2017-01-18)Double-diffusion refers to a class of instabilities that develops when the density of a fluid depends on two components with different diffusivities. For example, when warm, salty water is layered over cool, fresh water, ...
