Image analysis technique applied to lock-exchange gravity currents

Mário Jorge Rodrigues Pereira Da Franca, Helena Isabel Dos Santos Nogueira

An image analysis technique is used to estimate the two-dimensional instantaneous density field of unsteady gravity currents produced by full-depth lock-release of saline water. An experiment reproducing a gravity current was performed in a 3.0 m long, 0.2 ...

Phase Analysis of the Stretching Cycles of the Head of Unsteady Gravity Currents Developing over Smooth and Rough Beds

Mário Jorge Rodrigues Pereira Da Franca, Helena Isabel Dos Santos Nogueira

Gravity currents are buoyancy driven flows occurring spontaneously in nature or resulting from human intervention. Examples of gravity currents in the water are oceanic fronts, resulting from differences in temperature and salinity, and turbidity currents ...

Dynamics of the head of gravity currents

Mário Jorge Rodrigues Pereira Da Franca, Helena Isabel Dos Santos Nogueira

The present work experimentally investigates the dynamics of unsteady gravity currents produced by lock-release of a saline mixture into a fresh water tank. Seven different experimental runs were performed by varying the density of the salinemixture in the ...

Approaches to reduce friction losses in headrace waterways of hydropower plants

Anton Schleiss, Michael Pfister, Helena Isabel Dos Santos Nogueira

Forum papers are thought-provoking opinion pieces or essays founded in fact, sometimes containing speculation, on a civil engineering topic of general interest and relevance to the readership of the journal. The views expressed in this Forum article do not ...
