Disaggregation of a Tracer Cloud in Accelerating Transitional Pipe Flow

Abstract

AbstractPrevious studies on longitudinal solute transport in a pipe during acceleration from laminar to turbulent flow highlighted a disaggregation of the tracer cloud resulting in two peaks occurring downstream from a single pulse injection. It was ...Practical ApplicationsThis study revealed the processes underlying the disaggregation observed in tracer concentration profiles during accelerating pipe flows, and it carries significant implications for solute transport, and hence water quality, in water ...
