Ghasvari Jahromi 1 A CFD code has been developed to describe the salt solution density current, hich propagates three-dimensionally in deep ambient ater. The height and idth of the dense layer are to dominated length scales in a 3-D structure of the density current. In experimental eorts, it is common to measure the height and idth of this current via its brightness. Although there are analytical relations to calculate the current height in a to-dimensional o, these relations cannot be used to identify the idth and height of a 3-D density current, due to the existence of to unknon parameters. In the present model, the height and idth of the dense layer are obtained by using the boundary layer concept. Also, a comparison is made beteen depth averaged and characteristic variables. Then, the computed velocity and concentration proles are compared ith the experimental data and the results sho good agreement beteen them. In this ork, the entrainment coecient as also calculated using depth-averaged parameters and compared ith the experimental data. The result has the same trend as the Ellison and Turner experiments. Present results sho that the boundary layer concept can be useful in identifying the height and idth of a 3-D density current. INTRODUCTION Gravity currents, on inclined boundaries, are formed hen the ino uid has a density dierence ith the ambient uid and the tangential component of gravity becomes the driving force. The salinity concentration and/or the temperature dierences cause the density dierences. Sometimes, the extra eight of suspended solids causes the density dierence, for example, in turbidity currents in the ocean or a large lake and in poder sno avalanches in the mountains. The density current is a three-dimensional o by nature. Important applications of these currents are found in various elds, such as in the protection of sea faring vessels, atmospheric pollution, entomology and pest control, gas compression technology, meteorology and eather forecasting, cleaning of oil spills and the control of sedimentation in reservoirs, etc. When to uids ith dierent density have a lo relative velocity to each other, shear exists across the interface and, initially, the developing o is laminar. Then, if a critical value of shear is reached, the o becomes 1. Department of Mechanical Engineering, Sharif University of Technology, P.O. Box , Tehran, Iran. *. To hom correspondence should be addressed. roozabadi@sharif.edu dynamically unstable and gentle aves begin to form at the interface (crests normal to the shear direction). By increasing the velocity, the ave amplitude continuously gros and eventually reaches the roll-up or breaking point, hich is called the Kelvin-Helmholtz ave. Within each ave, there exists some lighter uid that has been rolled under the denser uid, resulting in patches of static instability [1] (Figure 1). Static instability combines ith continued dynamic instability and causes each ave to become turbulent. Turbulence spreads throughout the layer, causing diusion or mixing of the dierent uids. In this phase, some momentum is transferred beteen the uids and the shear beteen the layers is reduced; the formerly sharp interface becoming broader. In density currents, in laboratory experiments, the interface of to layers is identied by its brightness and by the naked eye, hich is based on penetration of the dense layer into the clean lighter uid. Besides, in analytical research, there are some relations for calculating average height, hich as developed, based on to-dimensional os. Dierent single value variables have been used for nondimensionalizing vertical proles in 2-D density or turbidity currents. Hoever, in three-dimensional os, the lateral propagation is added to the height of the current, so using analytical relations are not suitable, because those relations do not give any information
2 576 S. Hormozi, B. Firoozabadi and H. Ghasvari Jahromi to the experimental data of Alavian [7], hich sho reasonable agreement. Figure 1. Kelvin-Helmholtz instability formed at the interface of to layers ith dierent densities [1]. regarding the idth of the current. In the present model, by computing the height and idth of the dense layer, based on the boundary layer concept, the averaged-parameters can be obtained and the entrainment coecient versus averaged Richardson number is calculated. Much laboratory experimentation and numerical research into density or turbidity currents that studied depth-averaged and characteristic values or entrainment [2-9] ere performed in 2-D modeling. Relatively fe studies addressing 3-D density currents are available in the literature. Alavian [1] investigated, experimentally, the 3-D behavior of a salt solution density current released don a sloping surface in a tank of fresh ater. Observations and measurements have revealed a variety of phenomena depending strongly on buoyancy ux, Richardson number and angle of inclination. The objective of the present study is to simulate the o characteristics of a 3-D density current, ith individually average parameters and an entrainment coecient, in a straight inclined channel. Also, a ne approach is introduced, based on the boundary layer concept, to obtain the height and lateral propagation of a density current. The entrainment coecient against Richardson number is obtained ithout any approximation (Alavian [7] obtained the entrainment coecient against the approximated normal Richardson number). Also, the ater entraining to the dense layer in a span-ise direction is considered, hich is neglected in all previous 2-D simulations. An equation, hich relates the entrainment coecient and the Richardson number is introduced and replaced ith the previous proposed equations hich ere 2-D numerical or experimental investigations. Finally, the simulation results of the present study are compared MATHEMATICAL MODELING Governing Equations Figure 2 shos the schematic sketch of a 3-D density current. Because the density dierence is very small, compared to the density of the ino uid, density currents caused by saline ater are often analyzed by the Boussinesq approximation, in hich the relative density dierence is only considered in the gravity term but is neglected in other terms in the momentum equation. Due to the lo concentration of the salt solution, the uid could be assumed as Netonian. The equations, hich describe the motion of a density current, can be expressed + = ; @z @y @z @y + @y + g @u (2a) ; (2b) Figure 2.

The pressure term, p, denotes instantaneous pressure, hich is subtracted from the hydrostatic pressure. Boundary Conditions The boundary conditions at the inlet are knon. Similar to the Alavian experiments [1], the salt-solution o ith uniform velocity and concentration enters the channel under a still body of ater via a sluice gate onto a surface inclined at angle. At the outlet boundary, the streamise gradients of all variables are set to zero. It is expected that the outlet has only a local eect on the o eld [11]. At the free surface, the rigid-lid approximation is made, then, a symmetrical condition is applied that includes zero gradients and zero uxes perpendicular to the boundary [11]. At the rigid alls, due to the no slip conditions and a pure depositing assumption, the velocities and concentration gradients are set zero. For the concentration equation, zero gradient conditions, normal to the vertical alls and zero-ux conditions, normal to the bottom, are applied. interpolation method [12] and the pressure-velocity coupling is handled by the SIMPLEC method. The convective terms are treated by the hybrid scheme. TDMA-based algorithms are applied for solving the algebraic equations. The solution procedure is iterative and the computations are terminated hen the sums of absolute residuals normalized by the ino uxes are belo 1 4 for all variables. Depending on the inlet velocity and bed slope, around 3-5 iterations are required to achieve convergence in the velocity elds. Hoever, for the concentration eld, convergence is much quicker. Using the present computer ith CPU of 1.8 Gigahertz and 1 Gigabyte of Ram, convergence as achieved after 6 hours. The mesh points are chosen as uniform in the o direction, but in normal and span-ise directions, the grid points are distributed in a non-uniform manner, ith a higher concentration of grids close to the bed surface and symmetry plane. Each control volume contains one node at its center, but the boundary adjacent volumes contain to nodes. The eects of dierent mesh size on o characteristics, such as velocity prole and concentration prole, ere tested and the mesh independency as obtained. Finally, in directions x, y and z as selected (Figure 2). RESULTS AND DISCUSSIONS To validate the computer program, the inlet boundary conditions are set as Table 1, similar to the Alavian experiments [1]. Salt solution ith uniform velocity and concentration is continuously released from a source of a rectangular cross-section and spreads don an incline in a tank of fresh ater (Figure 3). The tank is 1.5 m deep, 1.5 m ide and 3 m long. The inlet height of the density current is 7.5 mm and its idth is 4.5 cm. In the above table, Q is the inlet volumetric ux, B o is the buoyancy ux, Ri o is the inlet Richardson Solution Procedure The governing equations are solved by a nite-volume method, using boundary tted coordinates. The continuity, momentum and diusion equations are solved for velocity components, u i, and concentration, C, in xed Cartesian directions on a non-staggered grid. All the variables are, thus, stored at the center of the control volume. The velocity components at the control volume face are computed by the Rhie-Cho Figure 3.

Height and Width of the Dense Layer The height and idth of the dense layer in the laboratory are identied by the naked eye by its brightness. Figure 4 sho laboratory pictures of the salt solution density current, reported by Firoozabadi et al. [13]. As can be seen in Figure 4a, there is a sharp interface beteen to layers. Hoever, Figure 4b indicates a broader interface and a more diuse shear layer beteen the dense layer and clear ater. Therefore, it ould be a good idea to dene the height and idth of the dense layer by using the boundary layer concept. Here, it is assumed that the interface is the place here its concentration is about 1% of the inlet concentration, hich is denoted by C in. In order to non-dimensionalize the velocity and concentration proles and compare them ith the experimental data, the idth, denoted by b and the height, denoted by h of the density current are used based on the boundary layer concept. The stream-ise velocity and concentration pro- les at b=b o = 7: and = 1 are shon in Figure 5 in comparison ith the experimental data of Alavian [1]. A slight underestimation as seen in the velocity and concentration proles near the interface of the density current and clear ater, hich can be related to the entrainment at the interface. Based on the authors' assumption, the non-dimensional height of the density current in Figure 5 is y=h = 1. Then, one can see that the momentum diusion in the normal direction (perpendicular to the bed) is larger than that of the concentration. Depth-Averaged Parameters Depth-averaged velocity U ave and concentration C ave in a cross-section are calculated ith the folloing equations, using Ellison and Turner [2] concepts, but in 3-D formats: B1 H1 U ave hb = udydz; (1) B1 H1 Uavehb 2 = u 2 dydz; (11) R B1 R H1 U ave = u 2 dydz R B1 R H1 udydz : (12) Figure 4. (a) Sharp interface beteen to layers; (b) Broader interface [13]. Figure 5. Velocity and concentration proles at b=b = 7: and = 1, in comparison ith Alavian's experiments [1]. (a) Velocity prole; (b) Concentration prole.
5 Variables and Entrainment in 3-D Density Currents 579 Then, the depth-averaged concentration, C ave, in a cross-section is dened by [14]: R B1 R H1 C ave = Cudydz R B1 R H1 udydz : (13) In the above formulas, H1 and B1 are the height and idth of the channel, respectively. Figures 6 and 7 sho the variation of U ave and C ave along the channel for medium and high Reynolds numbers at = 1. The gures indicate a considerable rise in U ave and C ave by increasing Re number. In fact, due to the entrainment of fresh ater into the dense layer and the conservation of mass, the mean velocity and concentration are expected to decrease in a stream-ise direction as the results sho. No, by using C ave, U ave and the height of the Figure 6. Eects of Re on the U ave. dense layer (h), Ri ave can be obtained as follos: Ri ave = C ave S Characteristic Variables gh cos Uave 2 : (14) Felix [7] has dened some variables (such as the height of maximum velocity) in natural scale turbidity currents, using a to-dimensional numerical model. Here, the dened height and idth of the dense layer are compared based on the boundary layer concept ith the depth-averaged parameters and variables dened by Felix [7]. The Felix parameters are maximum velocity U max and multiples thereof (1=2U max and 1=4U max ), layer thicknesses y max (the height of the maximum velocity), y 1=2 and y 1=4, hich are the heights above maximum velocity, here the velocity is equal to half and one quarter of the maximum velocity, respectively, i.e. the heights being such that u(y 1=2 ) = 1=2U max and u(y 1=4 ) = 1=4U max. The concentrations C m, C 1=2 and C 1=4 are calculated from the folloing: C m = 1 b y max C 1=2 = 1 b y 1=2 C 1=4 = 1 b y 1=4 y max y1=2 y 1=4 Cdydz; (15) Cdydz; (16) Cdydz: (17) Figure 8 indicates the average velocity and height, hich are calculated in the present model, and the variables dened by Felix [7] for medium ux and = 5. Felix [7] shoed that the height of the dense layer is approximately equal to y 1=4, but Figure 8a indicates that, in this study, it can be estimated by y 1=2. This outcome may be due to lateral propagation, hich decreases the diusion of concentration in a y Figure 7. Eects of Re on the C ave. Figure 8. Characteristics and boundary layer height and velocity at medium ux and = 5.

Figure 8b shos that the average velocity is, approximately, equal to 1=2U max, hich is the same as the Felix [7] results. Figure 9 shos the height of the dense layer and velocity proles. As can be seen, the momentum diusion is larger than that of the concentration and, here concentration reaches 1% C in, the velocity is approximately 1=2U max. Lateral Propagation Figure 1 shos the lateral propagation of the density current and the eects of bed slope and entrance Reynolds number on it. It has been shon that layer idth has an inverse relation ith bed slope. Lateral spreading decreases as bed slope increases, hich is due to the rise of the gravity force component. Hence, it seems that the variations of ux and mean velocity have more eect on lateral spreading than the bed slope. The shape of lateral spreading is also noticeable. In lo Reynolds numbers, hose entrance o rates are lo, the dense layer spreads immediately after entering the channel (Figure 1a). But, ith increasing o rate, the dense layer can keep its inertia and spread like a jet ithout lateral spreading (Figure 1b). In addition, results sho that the three-dimensional dense layer approaches a normal state after a considerable distance from the entrance and the o behaves as a to-dimensional structure. Figure 11. The lateral propagation of 3-D density current at = 5. Figure 11 shos the inuence of increasing ux on lateral spreading at the constant slope. As can be observed, by increasing the o rate, the inertia becomes more important than the viscous eect and lateral propagation ill be retarded. Figures 12a and 12b sho the computed vertical velocity prole of the symmetry plane, hich develops on an inclined bed. In these gures, the o structures are given in dimensionless form, i.e., the vertical axis as non-dimensionalized by the local current height, h = :45 m, and the horizontal axis by the inlet velocity. Figure 12a shos that, by increasing the distance from the inlet, the maximum velocity value ill decrease, due to lateral propagation and inertia decreasing. Also, it is observed that the location of the maximum velocity from the bed ill rise, due to mixing and entrainment at the interface. It is also noticeable that, by marching in the x direction, the vertical velocity gradient decreases at the interface, here y=h = 1: as a reason for entrainment decreasing. Figure 12b indicates the eect of bed slope on the vertical velocity prole. As can be seen, by increasing Figure 1. Inuence of bed slope on lateral spreading. (a) Lo ux; (b) Medium ux. Figure 12.

7 Variables and Entrainment in 3-D Density Currents 581 the bed slope, the maximum velocity value has little increase, due to the gravity force rising. Also, the location of the maximum velocity value ill become closer to the bed, as the result of decreasing the dense layer depth. Figure 13 indicates the variation of concentration prole of the symmetry plane ith the bed slope and ino ux. As can be seen, the eect of the ux on concentration is more important than the slope. Entrainment When the advancing front plunges, it disturbs and entrains the surrounding uid. The upper boundary of the dense layer behaves like a free shear layer. Turbulence at this boundary entrains the stationary ambient uid immediately above it into the layer and dilutes it. The turbulent region gros ith the distance donstream as the non-turbulent uid becomes entrained in it. This entrainment implies a o of ambient uid into the turbulent layer. Therefore, a small mean velocity, perpendicular to the mean o, is generated along the interface hen the ambient uid is initially at rest. Ellison and Turner [2] suggested that the velocity of the ino to the turbulent region must be proportional to the velocity scale of the layer; the constant of this proportionality is called the entrainment coecient, E. Alavian [1] assumed a rectangular cross-section area for a 3-D density current and dened the entrainment coecient, E, as: d dx (U avea) = EU ave (b + 2h); (18) here A is the cross-sectional area of the dense layer. Ellison and Turner [2] shoed that a 2-D dense layer folloing don a sloped bed attains a normal state (established o), here the overall Richardson number, Ri, reaches a constant value, Ri n, independent of x. This condition has also been observed in the laboratory investigation of 3-D density currents reported by Figure 13. Eects of inlet conditions on the concentration variation. (a) Ino ux at = 1 and x = 1:5 m; (b) The bed slope at high ux and x = 1:5 m. Alavian [1], and the folloing relationship beteen Ri n and E as derived: Ri n = ( 3h b 1)E Cd h b S2 E S 1 tg : (19) S 1 and S 2 are shape factors, due to the non-uniformity of the density distribution dened, respectively, as [2]: 1 1 S 1 = dz; (2) ( = ) m h a S 2 = 2 1 ( = ) m h 2 o o dz; (21) a here ( = ) m is the local mean density excess in Table 1. And C d is the friction coecient, hich is assumed to be constant and can be obtained by [1]: dh dx = C d + (2 1 2 S 2 Ri)E (1 1 2 S 2 Ri) h b dx db 1 S 2 Ri S 1 Ritg : (22) For an established o aay from the source, here h << b, Equation 19 can be approximated by ignoring h=b compared to unity. Therefore, the normal Richardson number for o on a steep slope becomes: Ri n = C d + E S 1 tg S 2 E : (23) Measuring S 1 and S 2 by Alavian [1] at the dense layer symmetry plane gives S 1 = :35 :84 and S 2 = :1 :43. By using the present model, one has the folloing results: S 1 = :3 :41 and S 2 = :3 :65. The drag coecient, C d, can be calculated from Equation 22. In this study C d = :18 :4, hich as found in the range of.1-.2 by Alavian [1]. Figure 14 compares the entrainment coecient, E, plotted versus the normal Richardson, Equation 8, calculated by [1] ith that calculated by the present model. It can be seen that the computations from the present model are in good agreement ith the experimental data. In addition, using this numerical model, the real average Richardson values, ithout any approximation, can be calculated by Equation 14. Figure 15 indicates that the curve tted on the results of the present model has the same trend as the curve hich tted on the Turner & Ellison's [2] data for an inclined plume. By increasing the Richardson number, the o becomes more stable and the entrainment of the clear ater to the dense layer decreases. Finally, both curves sho the inverse relation beteen E and Ri. The curve tted beteen E and Ri in this study has a linear trend and its relation is given in Equation 24. E = :54Ri + :667: (24)

A comparison is made beteen depth-averaged and characteristic variables of a three-dimensional density current, hich leads to, H Y 1 2, U 2 1U max and C C 1 4. It as found that the o ill reserve its 3-D structure at a considerable distance from the entrance, so it is necessary to study the lateral spreading. This method is capable of determining the span-ise entrainment and propagation of the current, hich has been neglected in many previous numerical orks. Also, a relation beteen entrainment coecients and the Richardson number as obtained ithout any simplication, hich has the same trend as the Ellison and Turner [2] 2-D experimental data. Figure 14. Entrainment coecient versus normal Richardson number. Figure 15. Entrainment coecient versus average Richardson number. CONCLUSIONS In this ork, a numerical model is used to simulate a 3-D density current. The viscous analysis is based on three-dimensional Navier-Stokes equations. The equations for mass continuity, momentum conservation and diusion are solved simultaneously in xed Cartesian directions, on a non-staggered grid using a nite volume scheme. The velocity-pressure coupling is handled by the SIMPLEC model. Density currents ith uniform velocity and concentration enter the channel, via a sluice gate, into a lighter ambient uid and move forard don the slope on the bed of the channel. The height and idth of the current are identied using a boundary layer concept.
