Gyre formation in open and deep lacustrine embayments: the example of Lake Geneva, Switzerland
Numerical simulations were carried out to investigate gyres within open lacustrine embayments subjected to parallel-to-shore currents. In such embayments, gyre formation occurs due to flow separation at the embayment’s upstream edge. High momentum fluid from the mixing layer between the embayment an...
