Abstract: A two-dimensional unsteady simulation model is applied to the problem of a submerged turbulent offset jet. Numerical simulations and theoretical investigation are performed to gain insight into large-scale convective ...

Abstract: Water loss in a channel is an important component of the hydrologic budget for the design and planning of a water diversion and delivery system. Quantitative assessment of channel losses is required in the calculations of ...

Abstract: The mixing of temperature‐stratified lakes and reservoirs by means of buoyant jets, which are created by withdrawing water from one layer and injecting it into another layer, is examined. The physical features of the thermal ...

Abstract: A turbulent buoyant jet in a stratified ambient fluid is investigated. The integral analysis approach is used and extended. By applying the similarity hypothesis for velocity and temperature profiles and deriving an ...

Abstract: This paper deals with artificial mixing of naturally temperature‐stratified water bodies, such as lakes, reservoirs, and ponds, by selective withdrawal and jet reinjection at a different depth. The effects of jet orientation ...

Abstract: The effects of inflow boundary conditions, ambient stratification, and geometry on the behavior of a density-induced current in a stratified reservoir are quantified through numerical experiments with a validated two-dimensional ...

Abstract: An unsteady two-dimensional (2D) reservoir hydrodynamics and transport model is employed to simulate contaminated density currents in the Shasta Reservoir after a chemical spill into the Sacramento River, Calif. Three flow ...

Abstract: Grade control structures are used extensively to control river channel degradation. Although their use is widespread, the durability and performance of these structures, namely, sheet pile, H-pile, rock sill, and concrete ...
