Abstract: Investigation of the behavior of salt solution released down a sloping surface in a tank of freshwater is reported here. Analysis indicates that the dense layer spreads in all directions at a rate proportional to the ...

Abstract: Many environmental flow problems involve mixing and transport of substances in a non-uniform rotating ambient. Dispersion should be treated as a second order tensor in such flows since the principal directon of motion ...

Abstract: The Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) reservoirs were innovatively manipulated to prolong strong stratification to keep a nuclear plant's intake water temperature below safety limits. Thermal stratification in a key reservoir ...

Abstract: The current state of knowledge of density currents caused by negatively (dense) or positively (light) buoyant flows entering stratified or unstratified lakes and reservoirs is reviewed and evaluated. Emphasis is given to ...
