Abstract
The results of qualitative laboratory and numerical experiments on two-dimensional non-linear model are described, aiming at an investigation of the structure of the front of bottom gravity current. Non-coincidence of frontal interfaces in density and velocity fields within the bottom gravity current leading (frontal) part is stated on the base of comparative analysis of numerical and laboratory experiments. This fact is experimentally confirmed by field example of marine water inflow into a brackish lagoon. The density gradient along the stream line is shown to be an additional effective criterion for the localization of the frontal zone.
