Abstract: The effect of lateral boundaries on the mechanics of multiple shallow water jets in a coflowing current is studied. Two exact inviscid solutions of the momentum‐induced flow are examined: A model that accounts for the ...

Abstract: Detailed tracer concentration measurements of a horizontal round buoyant jet in a uniform current are interpreted with the use of length scales. Jet trajectory and centerline dilution relations are obtained for momentum ...

Abstract: Multiple buoyant jets are found in the natural and artificial environment: thermal discharges from fossil and nuclear-fueled electricity generation, domestic and industrial wastewater discharges, brine disposal from ...

Abstract: A daily forecast system of marine beach water quality (WATERMAN) has been developed for Hong Kong. Individual multiple linear regression (MLR) models were developed to forecast daily water quality (lnEC concentration) at ...

Abstract: In subtropical coastal waters around Hong Kong, algal blooms and red tides have been frequently observed over the past two decades. In particular, in March–April 1998, a massive red tide invaded the northeastern and southern ...

Abstract: Diffusional mass transfer of dissolved substances across the sediment–water interface in coastal waters is an important factor for realistic determination of sediment oxygen demand (SOD) and nutrient recycle. The benthic ...

Abstract: Available data on the initial dilution of a horizontal round buoyant jet in a perpendicular crossflow are successfully interpreted using length scales and mathematical models. The database consists of in situ measurements ...
