Abstract: Explicit formulas for the times of arrival of the leading and trailing edges of a contaminant cloud are developed from a one-dimensional advection-dispersion model of transport. These times—defined as the times at which ...

Abstract: A method is evaluated for estimating the longitudinal dispersion coefficient

Abstract: Profiles of the rate of dissipation of turbulent kinetic energy were inferred from temperature microstructure measurements near a bubble plume at the center of a tank with diameter of 13.7 m and maximum depth of 8.3 m. Six ...

Abstract: An expression for the dispersion coefficient in a rectangular channel is derived to evaluate the importance of transverse and vertical variations in velocity for dispersion. The contribution of vertical variations to ...

Abstract: An analytical solution of a model of contaminant transport in the advective zone of rivers is presented and evaluated. An existing model that accounts for transport in the advective zone by dividing the channel into flowing ...

Abstract: To test the ability of acoustic Doppler current profilers (ADCPs) to measure turbulence, profiles measured with two pulse-to-pulse coherent ADCPs in a laboratory flume were compared to profiles measured with an acoustic ...

Abstract: In the aftermath of Hurricanes Maria and Irma in 2017, thousands of households experienced severe housing damage. To ensure that homeowners can get back on their feet after major disasters, the Federal Emergency Management ...
