Abstract: Four methods for producing linear density gradients in laboratory tanks were tested experimentally in our laboratory using salt-water mixtures. The influence of important parameters on producing a linear density gradient with each method was studied. These methods were compared with respect to the time required to produce the linear profiles, linearity of density profiles, and the transient behavior of density profiles. From these comparisons, the methods of Oster are recommended. A finite-difference computer code was used to predict the experimental transient behavior of the density profiles generated by the four methods. The predictions compared very well with the experimental results.
