Shallow Turbulence in Rivers and Estuaries
Abstract
The overall long-term goal of the Shallow Turbulence in Rivers and Estuaries" is to gain a better understanding of turbulent mixing processes and energy dissipation in estuaries and rivers. Specifically, the project goals are to improve understanding of the eddying motion occurring at horizontal length scales greater than the water depth. Improved understanding of such shallow turbulence will facilitate interpretation and utilization of remotely-sensed signatures as observed in rivers and estuaries, and in the vicinity of inlets and river mouths. Calibration and interpretation of non-eddying hydrodynamic models may also be improved, leading to improved modeling of turbulent transport.
