Abstract:
The effect of the nonmonotonic temperature dependence of water density on gravity current flow after removal of the shield which separated warm and cold water was studied experimentally. If the temperature of water of maximum density was in the interval between the initial temperatures on the different sides of the shield, Rayleigh–Taylor instability developed along with shear instability under normal conditions.
Keywords:
temperature of water of maximum density, density flow, Rayleigh–Taylor instability.
