Abstract: Water‐quality policy in the United States includes the concept of a mixing zone, a limited area or volume of water where initial dilution of an aqueous pollutant discharge occurs. Given a myriad of possible discharge ...

Abstract: Water quality regulations often permit a “mixing zone” or “allocated impact zone” in which the initial dilution of a wastewater occurs rather imposing strict end-of-pipe criteria. Since wastewater treatment typically entails ...

Abstract: Buoyant surface discharges into ambient water bodies can exhibit multiple complex flow processes, which cover the spatial range from the near field with initial jet mixing to the far field with passive ambient diffusion. ...
