Abstract: Flow of a plunging density current in a diverging horizontal channel is analyzed using a two layer nonmiscible flow model. The equations governing the flow are presented. Interface profiles that can exist are identified, and the behavior of the flow densimetric Froude number at the plunge line is investigated. The theoretical results are compared with experimental data.
