A Finite Volume Implementation of the Shallow Water Equations for Boussinesq Gravity Currents 

Hatcher, Thomas, Jr. (2012-07-16)
The shallow water equations (SWE) are a powerful tool for modeling the propagation of gravity currents (GC) because of their relative simplicity, computational efficiency and accuracy. Finite difference solutions, either ...

A Numerical Investigation on High-Reynolds-Number Gravity Currents in Pressurized and Free-Surface Systems using Shallow Water Equation and Integral Model Approaches 

Hatcher, Thomas, Jr. (2014-12-09)
Multiphase flows in the form of gravity currents are prevalent in various natural systems, as well as in some open channels and closed conduits. Thus, accurate flow simulation and efficient modeling tools are important in ...
