| Summary: | This study investigates the impact on the pollutant transport and mixing processes of strong lateral momentum transfer effects associated with severely compound flow fields. Consideration was limited to conservative, non-buoyant material represented by a (dye) tracer. The experiments include measurements of dye concentrations downstream from steady-injection point source(s). In general, it is not possible to obtain analytical solutions to the dispersion equation in natural waterways with arbitrary boundary conditions. However, a variety of simplified solutions exists for idealized situations, which can be useful in obtaining order-of-magnitude estimates. These solutions were applied to our experimental data. |
