Abstract: The terms of the TKE budget equation of a gravity current approaching a vertical cylinder are analyzed experimentally through PIV measurements. The presence of an increasing pressure adverse gradient interferes with the redistribution of TKE in the head of the current, suppressing the transport of TKE from the major production source located at the interface of the two fluids to the rest of the current.
