Environmental and Water Quality Operational Studies: Mixing in Rivers.

Abstract

This manual provides a discussion of the fundamental transport processes and the governing equations for mixing of solutes in rivers. Both the initial mixing associated with the momentum and buoyancy of the effluent discharge and the ambient transport following the initial mixing are considered in detail. Experimental considerations are discussed, and applications of the transport equations for both initial and ambient mixing problems are presented. Contents: Fundamental Aspects of Jets and Plumes; Initial Mixing Analysis for Variations Types of Discharges; Differential Equations Representing Hydraulic Transport Processes; Calculated Characteristics of Steady-State Concentration Distributions; Calculated Characteristics of Unsteady Concentration Distributions; Experimental Considerations; Applications.
