Diffusive Behavior of Bedform-Induced Hyporheic Exchange in Rivers
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Solute transport in natural streams is a complex phenomenon that involves both in-stream dispersion and mass exchange with the porous zones surrounding the water body. Due to the complex nature of the riverine systems ...
Effects of Velocity Gradients and Secondary Flow on the Dispersion of Solutes in a Meandering Channel
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Two contrasting mechanisms, created by channel curvature which strongly affect longitudinal dispersion of solutes in rivers are examined. In natural channels the large cross-sectional variability of the primary velocity ...
Parameter Estimation of the Transient Storage Model for Stream–Subsurface Exchange
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The transient storage model (TSM) is the most commonly used model for stream–subsurface exchange of solutes. The TSM provides a convenient, simplified representation of hyporheic exchange, but its lack of a true physical ...
Hyporheic Exchange with Gravel Beds: Basic Hydrodynamic Interactions and Bedform-Induced Advective Flows
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Stream-subsurface exchange processes are important because of their role in controlling the transport of contaminants and ecologically relevant substances in streams. Laboratory flume experiments were conducted to examine ...
