The Dynamics of River Plumes: the Relationship between Inflow Conditions and Alongshore Transport

0118029 Monismith PI假设河口处的河流羽流条件控制了滞流点的影响角度，然后控制了流入下游沿岸流的沃茨的分裂以及与流出羽流相关的凸起。 实验室实验，辅以数值模拟，提出。 需要回答的问题包括：河流羽流是否固有地依赖于时间？ 河口参数如何影响沿岸和跨岸输运？ 沿岸流中地转平衡的假设是一致有效的吗？ 这些研究将确定羽流的结构、驻点和沿岸流，并描述沿岸流内的输运场。 五个实验室情况包括标准、低流入角、高Rossby数、高Froude数和非零底坡情况。 实验室运行的重现性允许将多个运行（至少前7-10次旋转）的数据合并用于分析。

0118029MonismithThe PI hypothesizes that river plume conditions at the river mouth control the angle of impact at the stagnation point, which then controls the split of waters that flow into the downstream coastal current and the bulge associated with the outflow plume. Laboratory experiments, complemented by numerical modeling, is proposed. Questions to be answered include: Are river plumes inherently time dependent? How do river mouth parameters affect alongshore and cross-shore transport? Is the assumption of a geostrophic balance in the coastal current uniformly valid? The studies will define the structure of he plume, the stagnation point, and the coastal current, and describe the transport field within the coastal current. Five lab cases include a standard, low inflow angle, high Rossby number, high Froude number, and non-zero bottom slope situations. Reproducibility of the lab runs allows data from multiple runs (at least for the first 7-10 rotations) to be combined for analysis.
