On the initial down-slope propagation of a lock-release particle-driven gravity current: shallow-water predictions and comparisons with previously published data

HIGHLIGHTS

• What: Since the authors focus on particle-driven GCs, it is essential to incorporate this effect into the SW formulation. In § 3.1, the authors focus attention on configurations close to these of GMRL: the authors discuss the effects of the settling speed dimensionless parameter β, aspect ratio (x0 /h0 ), slope γ and the depth of the ambient. The work of GMRL focused attention on the propagation during the slumping phase, and hence the available data for comparison cover a relatively short distance of propagation. The authors compare the SW predictions for the slopes γ=0, 7◦ and 15◦, see . . .
