A numerical model for predicting energy dispersion in thermal plumes issuing from large, vertical outfalls in shallow coastal water

Creator:

Trent, Donald S.

Abstract:

A theoretical study of the heat and momentum transfer resulting from a flow of power plant condenser effluent discharged vertically to shallow, quiescent coastal receiving water is presented. The complete partial differential equations governing steady, incompressible, turbulent flow driven by both initial momentum and buoyancy are solved using finite-difference techniques...
