Residual sediment fluxes in weakly-to-periodically stratified estuaries and tidal inlets

In this idealized numerical modeling study, the composition of residual sediment fluxes in energetic (e.g., weakly or periodically stratified) tidal estuaries is investigated by means of one-dimensional water column models, with some focus on the sediment availability. Scaling of the underlying dynamic equations shows dependence of the results...

Turbulent reactive mixing in process equipment: 3-D LIF experiments and FDF/LES modelling

A linear approach for the evolution of coherent structures in shallow mixing layers

The development of large coherent structures in a shallow mixing layer is analyzed. The results are validated with experimental data obtained from particle tracking velocimetry. The mean flow field is modeled using the self-similarity of the velocity profiles. The characteristic features of the down-stream development of a shallow mixing layer...
