The influence of bed roughness on the dynamics of gravity currents

To date the influence of bed roughness onl the propagation and dynamics of gravity currents has been largely neglected. A new physical modelling dataset has been compiled, which details the fundamental affects of several bed roughnesses on lock-release gravity currents. Five bed configurations were...
