Abstract |
The project was designed to demonstrate the feasibility of using refined tracer techniques to measure mixing and diffusion taking place under non-steady, non-uniform flow conditions. Specifically, the test demonstrated the feasibility of using fluorescent dyes to trace polluted water, traveling as a power wave, into and through a stratified impoundment. Measurements of longitudinal, lateral, and vertical mixing were made to demonstrate the feasibility and ease of this technique in determining mixing coefficients, which can be used to predict the spread of polluted inflows in a stratified environment. |
