  1. A Review: Formulations ofLongitudinal Dispersion Coefficient

  2. Outline • Introduction and Applications • Historical background • New Formulations • Conclusions

  3. Longitudinal ADVECTION+Vertical or Lateral DIFFUSION= Dispersion Coefficient (K) DISPERSION

  4. River Mixing Processes

  5. Practical Applications • Pollution Forecasting • Temperature Variations in a River • River Water Quality Control • Re-aeration in Water Bodies • Salt Intrusion in Tidal Estuaries

  6. Historical Background • Taylor (1953 & 1954) • Elder (1959) • Fischer (1966 & 1975) • Liu (1977) • Iwasa and Aya (1991) • Taylor (1953 & 1954) • Elder (1959) • Fischer (1966 & 1975) • Liu (1977) • Iwasa and Aya (1991) Laminar flow in a tube of radius a Turbulent flow in a pipe of radius a

  7. Comparison of Formulae Discrepancy Ratio Accuracy

  8. Accuracy Comparison

  9. Seo & Cheong (1998) New Formulation • Dimensional Analysis: Factors influencing dispersion

  10. Seo & Cheong (1998) Buckingham PI Theorem

  11. Simplifications • Neglect irregularities • Flow is fully turbulent Reduced equation:

  12. Regression Analysis Nonlinear Multi-Regression Equation Linear Multiple Form

  13. Final Equation: Experimental data: • 59 streams, 26 states in US • 35 used to model equation • 24 used for verification

  14. Seo & Cheong (1998) Accuracy: 79% Limitation:

  15. Deng et al. (2002) • Lateral Dispersion Coefficient • Velocity Deviation Parameter • Channel Shape Equation • Local Flow Depth • Channel Sinuosity

  16. Deng et al. (2002)

  17. Conclusions • Analytical solution by Taylor (1954) available for regular cross sections. • Natural streams need empirical means with field data. • Liu’s equation (1977) offers the best prediction followed by Iwasa & Aya (1991).

  18. Conclusions • Seo and Cheong’s new equation (1998) with field data from 59 streams across 26 states in the US. • Deng et al. (2002) incorporated the effect of vertical and transverse irregularities.
