Investigation on the dynamics of gravity-driven coastal currents

Numerical simulations of buoyant, gravity-driven coastal plumes are summarized and compared to the inviscid geostrophic theory of Thomas & Linden (2007) and to laboratory studies for plumes owing along a vertical-wall coastline (those of Thomas & Linden (2007) and additional experiments perf...
