Summary

The classic lock exchange problem is reproduced where in a sharp difference in fluid density leads to shear flow driven by the internal pressure gradient. The formation of sharp fronts is utilized to study the mixing properties of three different tracer advection schemes. The model results are intended to be accessed from the THREDDS data server available through the related external resources. The model NetCDF files are stored on this trusted digital repository to ensure backup and longevity of these data.

Purpose

The lock exchange problem provides a simplified analaysis to study the mixing properties of numerical schemes with strong horizontal and vertical salinity gradients but without tidal or river forcing.
