The full Navier-Stokes and diffusion equations are applied to study the breaking of an internal soliton on the continuously stratified pycnocline in a two-layer system and its interaction with a slope. First, these equations are solved numerically to

A three-dimensional hydrodynamic model is developed to study the circulation in the Arabian Gulf. The model contains realistic basin geometries and bathymetries of the Arabian Gulf and a good portion of the Gulf of Oman and is driven by monthly clima

A new method is introduced to produce a uniform stratified flow over a stationary obstacle in an open channel. The flow is achieved by discharging the flow from the channel through a sink. The details of the sink are unimportant. The flow speed is li

In Part I of this series, a framework was introduced for the study of oceanic frontal dynamics. The dynamics was studied by posing an initial value problem, starting with a near-surface discharge of buoyant water with a prescribed density deficit int

The frontal instability of major baroclinic ocean currents such as the Gulf Stream is numerically studied here, using a three-dimensional, primitive-equation model. The model current is driven by a buoyant discharge near the surface from the light wa

The structure of the Gulf Stream Current is associated with the quasi-permanent density front in the western North Atlantic. The lighter mass of warmer but saltier water of the Sargasso Sea is separated from the slope water by inclined isopycnals tha

An investigation is made of selective withdrawal of a linear stratified fluid from a line sink in a channel of depth d. The flow is characterized by a densimetric Froude number F = Q/Nd2, where Q is the discharge per unit width and N is the Väisäl

Experiments were conducted to examine the development and establishment of the withdrawal current in the selective withdrawal of a stratified fluid from a line sink. The experiments were performed in a Plexiglas channel 30·5 ft long 14 in. wide, and

A general criterion for the presence or absence of selective withdrawal in a fluid or arbitrary stratification due to a line sink in a channel is presented. Several examples are given. The criterion is based on whether the speed of upstream propagati

The velocity of propagation of a variety of gravity motivated density currents is given. Several stratification configurations of the ambient fluid environment are considered. Applications are given to surface warm discharge in lakes or reservoirs, t
