The present lecture notes cover a first course in th most common
types of stratified flows encountered in Environ mental Hydraulics.
Most of the flows are buoyancy flows, i.e. currents in which
gravity acts on small density differences. Part I presents the
basic concepts of stagnant, densit- stratified water, and of
flowing non-miscible stratified fluids. The similarity to the
(presumed) well-known open channel flow, subject to a reduced
gravity, is illustrated. Part II treats the miscible density
stratified flows. In outlining the governing equations, the strong
coupling between the turbulence (the mixing) and the mean flow is
emphasized. The presentation and discussions of the basic governing
equa tions are followed by illustrative examples. Separate chapters
are devoted to Dense Bottom Currents, Free Penetrative Convec tion,
Wind-driven Stratified Flow, Horizontal Buoyancy Flow and Vertical
jet/plumes. Part III presents some examples of practical problems
solved on the basis of knowledge given in the present lecture
notes. It is the author's experience that the topics treated in
chapter 8 and in the subsequent chapters are especially well suited
for self-tuition, followed by a study-circle. ACKNOWLEDGEMENT The
author has benefited by the valuable help of his col legues at the
Institute of Hydrodynamics and Hydraulic Engin eering, the
Technical University of Denmark, especially our librarian Mrs.
Kirsten Djcentsrup, our secretary Mrs. Marianne Lewis and our
technical draftsman Mrs. Liselotte Norup."
