Publisher Summary This chapter describes the various aspects of advances in physical
limnology. A discussion of seasonal behavior and the role of the geographic location of a …

The time development of two-dimensional fluid motion induced by a line sink in a
rectangular, density stratified reservoir with a free surface is given. It is shown that the …

Transport of dense fluid by an inclined gravity current can control the vertical density
structure of the receiving basin in many natural and industrial settings. A case familiar to …

A method to simulate the withdrawal of water from a stratified water body is introduced. The
method can handle large withdrawals within a single time step and therefore allows the use …

The paper reports an experimental study of natural convection between two water reservoirs
connected through a two-dimensional horizontal duct. The flow field was visualized and the …

This study considers the motion of river water flowing into a lake. The study has two parts:
field observations of an interflowing river in Lake Iseo (Italy); and laboratory experiments on …

Data is presented detailing the water motion in the Wellington Reservoir induced by the
outflow from the valve at the base of the dam wall. This outflow system establishes a simple …

Field data and a simplified numerical model were used to investigate the dominant basin-
scale internal waves in a tropical Andean reservoir during a dry period. The structure and …

When a salt-stratified body of fluid is heated from the side a series of almost horizontal
convective layers can develop with well-mixed interiors. These layers can propagate into the …

A series of laboratory experiments are described in which the following major features of the
flow field were observed. Well above the outlet the flow was essentially one of uniform …
