Entrainment of Interstitial Water by Overland Flow
The paper reports on a study to investigate the entrainment of interstitial soil water by overland flow. A diffusion model was developed to describe the subsurface concentration and the...
Turbidity Control Measures Associated with Reclamation of an Abandoned Phosphatic Waste Clay Pond
Area 3A in the Tenoroc State Reserve near Lakeland, Florida is an inactive and abandoned phosphatic waste clay area. The disposal area has been inactive for several years and the clays...
Suspended Sediment Transport from Nonpoint Sources
Precipitation, runoff, and suspended sediment concentration data were collected in a predominantly agricultural watershed in southwestern Illinois from January 1982 through October 1984....
Overview of EPRI'S Solid Waste Environmental Studies
The Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) initiated a comprehensive research project in 1983 with the long-term goal of improving and validating methods for predicting the fate of chemicals...
Browns Ferry Nuclear Plant: Twenty Years Experience with Changing Thermal Criteria
This paper and its companion papers focus on one aspect of the environmental impact of Browns Ferry - the discharge of heated water. The paper provides a description of the site and the...
Browns Ferry Nuclear Plant Thermal Compliance Monitoring Network: Utilization of Data
An automated water temperature monitoring network was designed to measure ambient and downstream heated river temperatures at Browns Ferry Nuclear Plant (BFN) in Wheeler Reservoir. The...
Applications of a Diffuser Performance Model at Browns Ferry Nuclear Plant
An unsteady flow model and a diffuser performance formulation were combined to more accurately determine plant-induced temperature effects. This model has been applied to several aspects...
Simulation of Far-Field Thermal Effects from Browns Ferry Nuclear Plant
A computer model was used to evaluate the far-field effects of revised thermal discharge limitations at the Tennessee Valley Authority's Browns Ferry Nuclear Plant (BFN)....
Analyzing Combined Sewer Overflow Events
The Illinois Environmental Protection Agency/Illinois Pollution Control Board (ILEPA/IPCB) direct that combined sewer system overflows (CSO) be given sufficient treatment including 'first...
Small Canal Discharge Measurement by Thermal Dilution
Thermal dilution is a variation of the indicator dilution flow measurement technique, utilizing heat as the indicator. The measurement is accomplished by performing a heat balance within...
Coagulation in Natural Waters
The hydrodynamics and chemistry of particle-particle interactions can control the transport of particles and of particle-reactive pollutants. In lakes, particle deposition is accomplished...
Physical and Chemical Behavior of Chrysotile Asbestos Particles in Natural Waters
The paper reports on research to develop a better understanding of the chemical behavior and the influence of surface chemistry on the physical behavior of chrysotile asbestos and other...
Reactive Transport of Suspended Particles
Monte Carlo simulation of the total probability density function for each constituent easily handles non-linear reactions and has a cost that increases only linearly with the number of...
Computer Simulation of Coagulation
Coagulation, the process of collision and coalescence of particles, modifies the size distribution of the suspended mass, continuously creating larger particles which may settle out of...
Flow and Mixing Calculations for a Two-Dimensional Reservoir Water Quality Model
A two-dimensional reservoir water quality box model has been developed and applied to several Tennessee Valley Authority reservoirs including a mainstem reservoir that is fully mixed vertically,...
Thermal Plume Model for Demonstrating Compliance
A numerical model that simulates the discharge of heated water from a multiport line diffuser to a thermally stratified, flowing environment was developed. The model solves the conservation...
Sedimentation of Waste Particles in Coastal Waters
Environmental effects associated with various ocean disposal practices are determined to a large extent by the fate of waste particles. The importance of coagulation on particle deposition...
Brownian Coagulation in the Initial Mixing Region of a Buoyant Plume
The paper discusses reactive systems that share the following common phenomenon: their reaction is either controlled by both kinetics and diffusion, or fully by diffusion. It reports on...
Particle Sizes in Flocculation and Sedimentation: Models and Experiments
D. F. Lawler et al. developed a model for flocculation, sedimentation, and filtration and predicted the effects of particle size distribution and concentration of the influent in water...
Modeling Aquifer Sensitivity and Leachate Controls
