摘要: m 2 s � 1 and a transverse dispersion coefficient Ky 0.5 . The marked difference between Kx resulted in limited mixing, implying that any nearshore BWD is unlikely to reach the opposite bank wide St. Clair River within its total length (� 60 km). peak concentration Cp showed power-law decay over time t as / b was close 1, consistent with Fickian diffusion model. Compared offshore trials, trials were characterized by significantly slower travel speeds, because of velocity shear across channel. This first field study on mixing context biological invasions river large enough reveal considerable differences These findings shed light management contaminant spills.
