Diapycnal Mixing, Gravity-Current Propagation and Sediment Dispersion in Turbulent Fluids

Abstract

This report discloses a major accomplishment which was the completion of several laboratory and numerical studies on sediment dispersion in turbulent fluids. The report covers sediment laden gravity currents and estuarine benthic boundary layers. Some of the work started under the previous contract on turbulent mixing in stratified and rotating fluids was also completed. The work performed under these two categories are described below: research on gravity currents and sediment laden turbulent flows and research on turbulent mixing in stratified flows.
