A plume often results when a river discharges fresh water into the nearshore waters. This thesis combines both hydrographic data and idealized numerical simulations to examine how ambient currents and winds influence the transport and mixing of plume waters. The alongshore transport of freshwater is studied using a numerical model. In the absence of ambient currents, the downstream coastal curr...

Abstract Stratospheric emissions from aircraft or rockets are important sources of chemical perturbations. Small‐radius high‐aspect‐ratio plumes stratospheric smaller than global Eulerian models' grid cells. To help models resolve subgrid in the stratosphere, a Lagrangian plume model, comprising trajectory model and an adaptive‐grid with sequence cross‐section representations (from highly resol...

probable poor cohesion. The upper surface might be slightly indurated [2]. The MER rover may have the opportunity to examine this deposit, which occurs near the center of the Gusev landing ellipse. The deposition of other airfall units in the Sinus Meridiani region coincides with increased erosional activity there, suggesting a role for airfall deposits in the delivery or mobilization of volati...

A two-stage computational model of the evolution of a plume generated by laser ablation of an organic solid is presented and discussed. The first stage of the laser ablation involves laser coupling to the target and ejection of the plume and is described by molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. The following stage of a long-term expansion of the ejected plume is modeled by the direct simulation ...

behaviour of the dilution characteristics of the coastal waters off tuticorin is presented in thebackground of setting up of a desalination plant. simulations of dispersion and spreading of the proposeddischarges has been carried out. scenarios of dilutions were assessed based on the results of a 2d model using the advection-dispersion theory. it is observed that under prevailing currents in th...

A quantitative methodology is described for the field-scale performance assessment of natural attenuation using plume-scale electron and carbon balances. This provides a practical framework for the calculation of global mass balances for contaminant plumes, using mass inputs from the plume source, background groundwater and plume residuals in a simplified box model. Biodegradation processes and...

A two-stage computational model of evolution of a plume generated by laser ablation of an organic solid is proposed and developed. The first stage of the laser ablation, which involves laser coupling to the target and ejection of molecules and clusters, is described by the molecular dynamics ~MD! method. The second stage of a long-term expansion of the ejected plume is modeled by the direct sim...
