Abstract

A two-mode model for velocity and solute concentration in shallow-water flows is derived which allows for departures from the logarithmic velocity profile and from vertically well-mixed concentrations. The modelling is tested against exact results for a buoyancy-driven transverse flow and for a modified logarithmic velocity profile.
