Particle-laden gravity currents: The lock-release slumping regime at the laboratory scale

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: This study investigates the early slumping regime of particle-laden gravity currents from full-depth dam-break releases, combining laboratory experiments and two-fluid simulations. By systematically exploring the parameter space, it highlights the influence of the bottom slope, particle volume fraction and particle settling velocity on the flow dynamics.
