This book is an outgrowth of research contributions and teaching experiences by all the
authors in applying modern fluid mechanics to problems of pollutant transport and mixing in …

Jets and plumes are shear flows produced by momentum and buoyancy forces. Examples
include smokestack emissions, fires and volcano eruptions, deep sea vents, thermals …

Provides the tools needed to control and remediate the quality of natural water systems Now
in its Second Edition, this acclaimed text sets forth core concepts and principles that govern …

Experiments were performed using laser-induced fluorescence (LIF) and a microconductivity
probe on turbulent dense jets inclined upwards at an angle of 60° into stationary …

The ocean has for all time been the ultimate sink for water-borne waste products coming
from the land. Rivers and small creeks have always carried silt into the ocean and since the …

Discharges into ambient water bodies by means of a submerged single-port jet flow can
exhibit a great diversity of flow patterns, depending on the geometric and dynamic …

Experiments to study the dilution and formation of wastefields resulting from discharge into a
linearly density-stratified steady current of arbitrary speed and direction are reported in three …

Emerging technologies such as deep-sea mining and geoengineering pose fundamentally
new questions regarding the dynamics of gravity currents. Such activities can continuously …

An integral model for the plane buoyant jet dynamics resulting from the interaction of
multiple buoyant jet effluxes spaced along a diffuser line is considered as an extension of …

Comprehensive laboratory experiments on multiport diffusers for dense effluents such as
brine into stationary receiving waters are reported. Tracer concentration fields were mapped …
