Summary on Grant Application Form |
|
The underlying physical mechanisms of solute trapping in (oscillatory) tidal flow has received surprisingly little fundamental study. Detailed experimental investigation is now particularly appropriate using thr LIF technique which has improved markedly as technology has advanced (the high-sensitivity intensified CCD camera is now available at acceptable cost). Solute trapping on rough beds in parallel oscillatory will thus be measured and a bed entrainment function will be developed for incorporation in shallow water flow models. Fluorimeters and three-component ultrasonic velocity meters will also be used. Nearshore trapping due to discharge offshore of a headland inn tidal flow will also be measured and compared with an available 3D shallow-water flow model. The expriments will be undertaken in the tidal flume at Manchester.
