Short description on the session:
The session is open to contributions on all types of natural and man-made flows that involve buoyancy as a main driving force. This session will cover all environmental and geophysical flow problems within riverine, estuarine and maritime systems, in which density differences are initiated by variations in salinity, temperature and/or suspended particulate loads. Some example areas include (but not exclusive to): gravity or turbidity currents; turbulent buoyant jets and plumes; buoyancy-driven exchange flows; and internal waves. These contributions can be either on fundamental or applied research topics in these or related areas, and can present findings from experimental, analytical, computational and/or field studies.
