LES mesh resolution requirements for particledriven gravity currents

In this study we investigate the influence of grid resolution on a near-wall resolved LES model of a lock-exchange particle-driven gravity current. The simulations are performed using the finite volume Boussinesq code SnS with a Smagorinsky turbulence model for a buoyant Reynolds number of 60,000 on...
