Abstract: Due to the potential negative impact of human-induced saline density currents on the environment, there is an increasingly interest in obtaining accurate predictions of their behavior. Towards this end, this contribution focusses on the reproduction of these kind of flows with 3D hydrodynamic numerical models and its validation against a set of laboratory-generated density currents.
