On the Numerical Modelling of Stratified Flows

  • Conference paper
Physical Processes in Estuaries

Abstract

This chapter presents a review of turbulence models for stratified flows and shows how these models react to stable or unstable stratification phenomena. The test case of a two-layer flow is described in detail.
