Abstract
  • The effect of entering streamflow on currents of a density stratified reservoir has been studied in a laboratory model to provide insight into the prediction, control, and maintenance of quality water discharge from a thermally stratified reservoir. Twenty experiments were performed using various concentrations of a sodium chloride solution to provide a linear density stratification and using photographic techniques to provide velocity measurements of the flow field. General flow patterns are described and graphical presentation of dimensionless parameters quantitatively relate the existence, location, and magnitude of model internal density currents to entering streamflow characteristics. The applicability of the results to a prototype reservoir is discussed.
