Numerical simulations of the interactions between counterflowing density currents by Samuel Ukpong Okon, Qian Li, Fangzhou Shen, Nan Wang, Zhiguo He

“…The direct numerical simulations reveal that when equal height counterflowing saline density currents collide, the dynamic characteristics of the resulting flow depend on the density difference between the colliding currents, collaborating experimental results. The interaction process initiated mixing and significant vertical motion in the resulting mixed fluid, which attained a maximum rise height of approximately twice that of the colliding currents, thereby enhancing the vertical motion of hypersaline fluid in the ambient column. …”
