Hydrodynamics of Estuaries
Author: B. Kjerfve
Publisher: CRC Press
ISBN: 135109016X
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 254
Book Description
These books are divided into two volumes. The first focuses on estuarine physics and physical processes and interpretations. I have, for the most parts, intentionally downplayed engineering applications to estuaries. It is my bias that a deeper understanding is accomplished with a physical approach, whereas an engineering approach is largely geared toward finding a solution to a problem. Of course, it is not always easy to make this distinction. The second volume is a presentation of physical case studies of several important estuaries, spanning the major geomorphic types. I believe that it can be very useful to all areas of the world. I have consciously strived to be more international to scope in selection of both authors and estuarine case studies.

Estuarine Circulation
Author: Bruce J. Neilson
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 1461245621
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 378
Book Description
Estuaries exist along the edge of the oceans and seas, and are char acterized by the dilution of sea water by inflowing fresher waters. The motion and interaction of these two types of water (fresh and salt water) determine the salinity distribution within the estuary and that, in turn, affects the organisms residing there. The purpose of this vol ume is to review the status of our understanding of estuarine circu lation and how the circulation patterns affect living and nonliving resources in estuaries. For many years, the primary paradigm for estuarine circulation was the two-layered net or nontidal gravitational circulation pattern first proposed by Dr. Donald Pritchard in his studies of the James River estuary. During the last decade or so, research has focused on the many variations about this theme and the factors that control the transport processes. Many of these aspects are covered in the initial papers in this volume. Water movement, of course, is of interest be cause it transports marine organisms, sediments, and pollutants. Es tuarine circulation has a significant effect on estuarine food chains, and on the distribution and abundance of organisms, such as the American oyster, that are freely transported by the currents during larval stages. The intent is to bring together many of these topics in a single volume. This volume is dedicated to Dr. Donald W.

Longitudinal Dispersion in Non-uniform Flow
Author: H. H. Carter
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Diffusion in hydrology
Languages : en
Pages : 64
Book Description
Non-uniform flow is a flow in which the velocity at any given time changes from point to point along a streamline. In estuaries, such flows result from the cross-sectional area increasing in the downstream direction. A solution to the convective-diffusion equation for this type of estuary is obtained in terms of the estuarine geometry and the longitudinal diffusion coefficient. The model is applied to the results of two dye tracer experiments carried out in the upper Patuxent River during August 1969 from which the longitudinal dispersion coefficients were quantitated. The concept of a flushing velocity for an estuary is developed and defined. (Author).
