Abstract

Density current is the motion of a fluid in another fluid of a different density, with frequent negative environmental impacts. According to the deposition problems caused by density currents in the vicinity of dam bodies, attempts are usually made to weaken or eliminate these types of currents in the middle of the reservoir. Appropriate barriers are placed in the middle of the reservoir for this purpose. The effects of cylindrical and cubic obstacles on the motion of the head of the saline density current are experimentally investigated in this study. The results show that the effect of cubic obstacles on current parameters is greater compared to cylindrical obstacles.
