Effect of islands upon dispersion in rivers
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 26 April 2006
Abstract
A general formulation is given for the dispersion of conservative tracers in steady flow in multi-connected channels. A multi-index is used to distinguish the different routes for tracer between the source and the observation position. For each route exact formulae are obtained for the time integral, time centroid, and cross-channel average of the temporal variance. The total concentration is the superposition of the contributions from the different routes.
