Download or read book Longitudinal Dispersion Coefficient Estimation in Two Dimensional Open Channel Flow written by Quanquan Liang and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 83 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Longitudinal dispersivities are evaluated for two-dimensional open channel flow using a new velocity profile developed by Gomez (2006) as an alternative to the traditional "law of the wall" logarithmic profile commonly used. The modified profile improves on the logarithmic profile by incorporating a zero velocity gradient at the surface as well as a non-zero bottom slope, which is necessary for steady uniform flow. Non-dimensional forms of dispersivities are calculated based on Taylor's (1954) dispersivity equation using numerical integration with a polynomial approximation to enable integration of the indefinite integrals in that expression. While the velocities predicted by the traditional and modified profiles are relatively similar, significantly larger eddy viscosities are predicted with the new profile, and these are associated with slightly smaller longitudinal dispersivities. Flume experiments are performed to provide detailed velocity profile measurements, Reynolds stresses, and turbulent kinetic energy distributions. These data are used to compare the two profiles and to evaluate bottom shear stress and shear velocity for a range of conditions, and to provide a database for further research applications. The present results are meant to provide a stronger theoretical basis on which additional factors can be built for making final determinations of longitudinal dispersivity in the field. Further experiments are needed to directly measure longitudinal dispersivity and to confirm the present calculations.

Download or read book Hydrodynamics and Transport for Water Quality Modeling written by James L. Martin and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2018-05-04 with total page 820 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hydrodynamics and Transport for Water Quality Modeling presents a complete overview of current methods used to describe or predict transport in aquatic systems, with special emphasis on water quality modeling. The book features detailed descriptions of each method, supported by sample applications and case studies drawn from the authors' years of experience in the field. Each chapter examines a variety of modeling approaches, from simple to complex. This unique text/reference offers a wealth of information previously unavailable from a single source. The book begins with an overview of basic principles, and an introduction to the measurement and analysis of flow. The following section focuses on rivers and streams, including model complexity and data requirements, methods for estimating mixing, hydrologic routing methods, and unsteady flow modeling. The third section considers lakes and reservoirs, and discusses stratification and temperature modeling, mixing methods, reservoir routing and water balances, and dynamic modeling using one-, two-, and three-dimensional models. The book concludes with a section on estuaries, containing topics such as origins and classification, tides, mixing methods, tidally averaged estuary models, and dynamic modeling. Over 250 figures support the text. This is a valuable guide for students and practicing modelers who do not have extensive backgrounds in fluid dynamics.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper is concerned with the longitudinal dispersion coefficient in open channel flows. Recent theoretical developments for the dispersion coefficient are summarized and results of tracer dispersion study in laboratory flumes are presented. They verity that two theoretical formulae predicting the dispersion coefficient in open channel glows give the fine aggement with observed ones. It is also disclosed that the dispersion coefficient mainly influenced by the width to depth ratio, and the empirical relationship between the non-dimensional dispersion coefficient and the width to depth ratio is obtained.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This textbook describes in detail the fundamental equations that govern the fate and transport of contaminants in the environment, and covers the application of these equations to engineering design and environmental impact analysis relating to contaminant discharges into rivers, lakes, wetlands, groundwater, and oceans. The third edition provides numerous end-of-chapter problems and an expanded solutions manual. Also introduced in this edition are PowerPoints slides for all chapters so that instructors have a ready-made course. Key distinguishing features of this book include: detailed coverage of the science behind water-quality regulations, state-of-the-art methods for calculating total maximum daily loads (TMDLs) for the remediation of impaired waters, modeling and control of nutrient levels in lakes and reservoirs, design of constructed treatment wetlands, design of groundwater remediation systems, design of ocean outfalls, control of oil spills in the ocean, and the design of systems to control the quality of surface runoff from watersheds into their receiving waters.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book emphasizes the dynamics of the open channel flow by attempting to provide a complete framework of the basic equation of fluid motion which is used as a building block for the treatment of many practical problems.
