Work analysing gravity currents propagating within a single fluid host was broadened to consider intrusions within sharply stratified fluids by Hoyler & Huppert in 1980. Since then there have been further significant analytical and experimental advancements into understanding specifically particle laden intrusions by researchers including Bonnecaze, et al., (1993, 1995, 1996), Rimoldi et al. (1996), and Rooij, et al. (1999). As of 2012 the most recent rigorous analytical analysis, designed to determine the propagation speed of a classically extending intrusion, was performed by Flynn and Linden. Practical experimentation into intrusions has typically employed a lock exchange to study intrusion dynamics.
