The effects of boundary geometry on internal density currents
in a density stratified reservoir were investigated in a laboratory
model. When water was simultaneously withdrawn and admitted to
the reservoir, a complex current regime was established. The general
flow pattern is described, and the influence of physical variables
on the...
Withdrawal from a two-layer flow field is examined in terms of
the degree of selectivity of the withdrawal flow and its dependence
on an ambient current. Selectivity is defined as the bias of withdrawing
one layer more strongly than the other; the extreme' case is
complete selective withdrawal, where one...
Thousands of small man-made water reservoirs (water bodies with water surface
from five to some hundreds ha) have been developed in mountainous regions for water
supplying or hydroelectricity purpose, these areas are usually residence of poor,
backward minority groups which often lacks of food supplying resources. Development of
fisheries (both...
The nature of flow in stratified reservoirs has been studied and
a method developed, based on a laboratory model study, to predict
the quality of the water discharged from the reservoir. The experimental
data has been evaluated in dimensionless form, so that the
results may be applied to actual reservoirs....
