Horizontal dispersion in the surface waters of a medium-sized lake was investigated based on four experiments with ensembles of 14 to 17 drifters deployed in Lake Constance during the winter season. The experiments cover length scales between 30 and 3000 m which are typical for the grid length scales employed in 3-D models. Horizontal dispersion coefficients Kdisp were estimated to range from 0...

In this paper, the dispersion of a solute in the peristaltic flow of a Jeffrey fluid in the presence of magnetic field with both homogeneous and heterogeneous chemical reactions has been discussed. The average effective dispersion coefficient has been found using Taylor's limiting condition under long wavelength approximation. It is observed that the average dispersion co-efficient decreases wi...

The theory accounting for nonlinear particle relaxation (viscous and thermal) has been applied to the prediction of dispersion of sound in dilute suspensions. The results suggest that significant deviations exist for sound dispersion between the linear and nonlinear theories at large values of omegatau(d), where omega is the circular frequency and tau(d) is the Stokesian particle relaxation tim...
