In this case, air-resistance is sometimes considerable and the effects of gravity vary depending on density and size of the falling objects.
Since the earth is a source of gravity, and since gravity does not move relative to the earth, this assumption is unquestioned.
To my knowledge nobody has ever equated earthrelative motion with motion relative to the earth's gravity.
Despite excellent efforts at simulating motion dynamics, gravity, friction, and noise, engineers still find physical models useful to confirm their conclusions.

The simulation exhibits all features typically observed in experimental flows near the gravity-current head, including the lobe-and-cleft structure at the leading edge.
If gravitational effects are sufficiently strong, a dominant gravity tongue will form even in an environment characterized by more pronounced heterogeneities.
In other words, one particular distribution may favour the formation of a gravity tongue, while another one may discourage it.
