Mixing in reservoirs / by P.F. Hamblin, R.C. Harris and W.J. Snodgrass.: En13-5/87-33E-PDF

"Knowledge of mixing processes in reservoirs, lakes and cooling ponds is vital to the accurate prediction of water quality both in the main body of the reservoir and in regions downstream of the reservoir particularly over time scales spanning several days or longer. An overview of the current state of knowledge of mixing processes in reservoirs is presented. The physical principles for mixing in various classes of reservoirs are described and an application of several reservoir mixing models to a large lake is compared with field observations over a long-term simulation period"--Abstract, page 1.
