The Feasibility of a Dynamic Model of Lake Michigan,

Abstract

The purpose of this report is to discuss the factors affecting the dynamic similitude of a model of Lake Michigan. The interest in a model arises from the desire of various federal, state and municipal agencies to determine the characteristic water movements and mixing processes in the Lake. It is concluded that a model study is feasible and that the model, in conjunction with necessary field observations, will materially advance the state of knowledge of the fluid processes in Lake Michigan.
