Mixing of salinity by ship traffic in canals

Salt intrusion poses a threat to the fresh water supply function of inland waterways. How far inland salt intrusion reaches is dependent on a balance of buoyancy forcing, water depth, discharge of the canal and the amount of mixing. Wind, bottom roughness, and sailing ships contribute to mixing. Currently, little is known about the contribution...

International Conference on Physical Modeling of Transport and Dispersion

Proceedings of the 4th conference organized by IAHR (section on experimental methods and physical modeling) on scale effects. Special keynotes and invited presentations describe the contributions of Dr. Keulegan and their relation to present work in mixing processes, stratified flow and other areas of fluid mechanics. These proceedings contain...
