| Abstract: | A rectangular flume of dimension 180cm long × 40cm high × 5cm wide was used to observe the
flow condition of density current withdrew by a line sink. Saline water is used as dense fluid to form
a bottom density current. Red color is applied for dyeing dense fluid for observing the interface
which is between lower-layer flow and upper-layer flow of the two-layer flow system. The vertical
concentration profile of density current, the entry angle which between the interface and the
centerline of the slot, and the outflow concentration are measured after the equilibrium state is
reached. The thicknesses of lower-layer flow with high concentration and entry angles were studied,
which had been discussed via theoretical reasoning but not experimental data in selective
withdrawal. The former has an asymptotic value as concentration over a critical value in each
inflow discharge. The latter are close to theoretical values calculated by the equation of Forbes and
Hocking (1998) especially when the entry angle is small. |
| Description: | Paper presented at The Seventh International Conference on HydroScience and Engineering (ICHE)hosted by the College of Engineering at Drexel Univeristy on September 10-13, 2006 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The conference theme was IT in the Field of HydroSciences. It included several mini-symposia that emphasized IT topics in HydroSciences and the yearly meeting of the metadata group of the International Oceanographic Data and Information Exchange organization. |
