RESUMO
An overview is given of high-resolution numerical simulation results for gravity currents in the lock exchange configuration. Results are provided for Boussinesq and non-Boussinesq flows, and for both horizontal and sloping bottom geometries. Furthermore, currents driven by fluid density differences are discussed along with those driven by differential particle loading.
