Abstract/Additional Information

This paper aims to simulate and discuss the propagation of density current and divergence flow in a dam reservoir. The density plunging flow is modeled in three-dimensions through a dam reservoir with diverging and sloping bottom channels, and the plunging phenomenon has been reproduced in the present model.
