The transient behaviour of through-flowing gravity currents interacting with a roughness array

Alex Meredith, Craig McConnochie, Roger Nokes +1

We present laboratory experiments that investigate the structure and flow characteristics of gravity currents travelling through an array of roughness elements. The roughness eleme…

Entrainment into particle-laden turbulent plumes

Craig D. McConnochie, Claudia Cenedese, Jim N. McElwaine

We use laboratory experiments to investigate the entrainment of ambient fluid into an axisymmetric turbulent plume that contains dense particles with a settling velocity that is co…

Aspect ratio affects iceberg melting

Eric W. Hester, Craig D. McConnochie, Claudia Cenedese +2

Iceberg meltwater is a critical freshwater flux from the cryosphere to the oceans. Global climate simulations therefore require simple and accurate parameterisations of iceberg mel…

Confronting Grand Challenges in Environmental Fluid Mechanics

T. Dauxois, T. Peacock, P. Bauer +10

Environmental fluid mechanics underlies a wealth of natural, industrial and, by extension, societal challenges. In the coming decades, as we strive towards a more sustainable plane…

Surface expression of a wall fountain: application to subglacial discharge plumes

Craig D. McConnochie, Claudia Cenedese, Jim N. McElwaine

We use laboratory experiments and theoretical modeling to investigate the surface expression of a subglacial discharge plume, as occurs at many fjords around Greenland. The experim…
