Gravity Currents in Aquatic Canopies by Tanino, Yukie, Nepf, Heidi, Kulis, P. S.

“…As canopy drag increases, the propagating front varies from the classic profile of an unobstructed gravity current to a triangular profile. Unlike the unobstructed lock exchange, the gravity current in the canopy decelerates with time as the front lengthens. …”

The evolution of miscible gravity currents in horizontal porous layers by Szulczewski, Michael Lawrence, Juanes, Ruben

“…Gravity currents of miscible fluids in porous media are important to understand because they occur in important engineering projects, such as enhanced oil recovery and geologic CO[subscript 2] sequestration. …”

Capillary pinning and blunting of immiscible gravity currents in porous media by Zhao, Benzhong, MacMinn, Christopher W., Huppert, Herbert E., Juanes, Ruben

“…After injection, the CO[subscript 2] will spread and migrate as a buoyant gravity current relative to the denser, ambient brine. …”

Dynamics of convective dissolution from a migrating current of carbon dioxide by Hidalgo, Juan J., MacMinn, Christopher W., Juanes, Ruben

“…Here, we study the impact of solubility trapping from convective dissolution on the up-dip migration of a buoyant gravity current in a sloping aquifer. To do so, we conduct high-resolution numerical simulations of the gravity current that forms from a pair of miscible analogue fluids. …”

Interface pinning of immiscible gravity-exchange flows in porous media by Zhao, Benzhong, MacMinn, Christopher W., Szulczewski, Michael Lawrence, Neufeld, Jerome A., Huppert, Herbert E., Juanes, Ruben

“…We propose a sharp-interface gravity-current model that incorporates capillarity and quantitatively explains the experimental observations, including the x∼t[superscript 1/2] spreading behavior at intermediate times and the fact that capillarity stops a finite-release current. …”

Residual trapping, solubility trapping and capillary pinning complement each other to limit CO[subscript 2] migration in deep saline aquifers by Zhao, Benzhong, MacMinn, Christopher W., Juanes, Ruben

“…We derive a theoretical model for the post-injection migration of a CO[subscript 2] gravity current in a confined, sloping aquifer under the influence of residual trapping, solubility trapping, and capillary pinning. …”

Thermal perturbations caused by large impacts and consequences for mantle convection by Zuber, Maria, Watters, Wesley A., Hager, Bradford H

“…Large, high-temperature perturbations are rapidly buoyed and flattened, and spread along the layer's upper boundary as a viscous gravity current. The spreading flow severs and displaces downwellings in its path, and also thins and stabilizes the upper thermal boundary layer (TBL), preventing new instabilities from growing until the spreading motion stops. …”
