Dispersion in Estuaries and Coastal Waters describes the physical
processes which result in the dilution of a substance in the marine
environment. The emphasis is mainly on the fundamental mechanisms
of dispersion and the occurrence of these processes in estuaries
and coastal waters Aspects of the present understanding of fluid
dynamics in homogenous and stratified flows are discussed, with
particular reference to the relevance of flow conditions to the
turbulent state. The book describes how the associated dispersion
processes are represented in mathematical models to quantify
dilution in marine systems and the experimental techniques used to
derive the mixing parameters required for the models. Concluding by
discussing the application of the concepts of dispersion in well
mixed, stratified and partially mixed systems, Dispersion in
Estuaries and Coastal Waters acts as an excellent guide book for
those needing to solve practical problems relating to marine
dispersion. It also provides a useful review of dispersion as it
cites key publications, both recent and long-standing, which are
invaluable in interpreting and quantifying the dilution and fate of
material in the marine environment.
