Lake destratification induced by local air injection

Mathematical and physical modelling makes possible quantitative predictions regarding the destratification process brought about by the local injection of air at the bottom of a thermally stratified lake or reservoir. The mathematical model developed distinguishes between a near field and a far field. Mixing of epilimnion water and hypolimnion...

On the destratification of lakes and reservoirs using bubble columns

The aim of this research project was (i) to obtain an understanding of the destratification process caused by the local injection of air at the bottom of a thermally stratified lake or reservoir, and (ii) to make possible quantitative predictions of the rate of destratification in a given situation. To this end a mathematical model was set up,...
