EXPERIMENTAL INVESTIGATIONS ON LONGITUDINAL DISPERSION CHARACTERISTICS OF TIDAL RIVERS

The longitudinal dispersion characteristics of tidal rivers are experimentally investigated in a water channel. The longitudinal dispersion features and influential factors on pollutant in various stages of a tidal period in natural rivers are studied, the value ranges and variation trends of the longitudinal dispersion coefficient are obtained by means of concentration measurement. The results can provide important parameters for establishing the water quality mathematical models in tidal rivers.
