Diffusion and dispersion equations in open channel flow / Y.L. Lau.: En36-522/69-1975E-PDF

"This manuscript traces the development of the various equations which are used in studying diffusion and dispersion in open-channel flow. Starting from the general convective-diffusion equation, other simpler equations applicable to vertical, transverse, or one—dimensional transport are derived. The meaning of the various transport terms are explained and the equations commonly used for calculating the various dispersion coefficients are derived. This manuscript shou1d be a useful and concise summary for scientists and engineers who are working on diffusion problems in open-channel flows"--Preface.
