Abstract
Fluid flow is classified as density-driven if the flow pattern is influenced by density differences in the fluid system. The necessary condition for this type of flow is that density differs from one location to another. This holds for the steady state, when the system does not change with time. If the flow is transient, additionally there are temporal changes of density.
