A model of the motion of a heavy gas cloud released on a uniform slope

Abstract A model is presented of the motion of a heavy gas cloud down a uniform slope in calm ambient conditions. The model is derived from solutions of the shallow water equations with appropriate boundary conditions. Its predictions are shown to agree adequately with experimental results in calm conditions, and a possible generalisation to allow for the presence of a wind is discussed.
