Abstract: Sea water desalination plants discharge a concentrated brine effluent into coastal waters. Modern, large capacity plants require submerged discharges, in the form of a negatively buoyant jet, that ensure a high dilution ...

Abstract: The near-field region of a buoyant surface discharge into water bodies often displays significant jet-like motions in form of free jets, shoreline-attached jets, and wall jets, respectively, as classified by the CORMIX3 ...

Abstract: The arrested saline wedge geometry is characterized by two major internal demarcation lines, the density interface and the zero velocity line (ZVL). As a complement to earlier two‐layer model formulations that are based ...

Abstract: The theoretical formulations developed in part 1 for entrainment at the zero velocity line (ZVL) and for interfacial friction of the density interface have been implemented in a two‐layer model of the arrested salt wedge. ...

Abstract: Rivers, estuaries, and coastal waters represent shallow water layers because the water depths are normally much smaller than the horizontal scales. Pollutant and waste heat disposal often takes the form of a plane jet ...

Abstract: Reaeration in combined wind/stream driven flows was experimentally studied in a laboratory wind-water tunnel. Wind velocities, stream flow properties, and oxygen transfer rates were measured under a variety of cocurrent ...

Abstract: Detailed measurements on the internal flow structure of the arrested saline wedge over a horizontal bottom have been performed together with observations of its overall appearance. The experiments covered a channel Reynolds ...
