Exchange flow between Lake Ontario and Hamilton Harbour / T.M. Dick and J. Marsalek.: En36-502/36E-PDF

"A hydraulic study of the exchange flow between Hamilton Harbour and Lake Ontario reveals the necessity to consider short-term transitory water level fluctuations to estimate mass exchange. Field studies identified the development of a strong thermal wedge and density current which increases the mass exchange. Data on the thermal wedge were used to examine the two-dimensional wedge theory. Some calculations were also done on the effect of harbour land filling on the mass exchange"--Abstract.
