▪ Abstract Recent small-scale turbulence observations allow the mixing regimes in lakes,
reservoirs, and other enclosed basins to be categorized into the turbulent surface and …

In the transition area between the North Sea and the Baltic Sea entrainment processes
dominate the vertical mixing in the inflowing saline bottom water. The hot spots of these …

Oxic lake surface waters are frequently oversaturated with methane (CH4). The contribution
to the global CH4 cycle is significant, thus leading to an increasing number of studies and …

The vertical diffusivity of density, Kρ, regulates ocean circulation, climate and coastal water
quality. Kρ is difficult to measure and model in these stratified turbulent flows, resulting in the …

A numerical model was developed for the prediction of the density stratification of lakes and
reservoirs. It combines a buoyancy‐extended k‐ϵ model with a seiche excitation and …

In a laboratory study, we quantified the temporal energy flux associated with the
degeneration of basin‐scale internal waves in closed basins. The system is two‐layer …

Climatic change is recognized as an important factor capable of influencing the structural
properties of aquatic ecosystems. Lake ecosystems are particularly sensitive to climate …

Sustainable management of drinking water reservoirs requires balancing the demands of
water supply whilst minimizing environmental impact. This study numerically simulates the …

Vertical and horizontal exchanges in Pilkington Bay, a shallow (9 m) embayment of Lake
Victoria, were determined from a surface energy budget, time series measurements of …

Based on microstructure measurements in a simply shaped lake basin, the sources of
vertical mixing in the stratified part of the water body were identified and estimates of their …
