Multi-mode models of flow and of solute dispersion in shallow water. Part 3. Horizontal dispersion tensor for velocity
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 10 December 1997
Abstract
Svendsen & Putrevu (1994) revealed that the much larger off-shore than vertical effective viscosity for longshore currents is the consequence of a shear dispersion mechanism. The multi-mode representation for the flow gives a mathematical framework within which a more general derivation can be made. It is shown that to a first approximation the horizontal shear dispersion tensor for velocity is the same as that for solutes.
