Abstract
A new open-channel experimental facility has been built specifically for the
study of coastal plumes. The research perspective is to investigate the physics from
the point of view of the identification of contaminant source location. We present the
preliminary results of a plume generated by a bottom-mounted source in the presence
of lateral meanders. The measurements are made using a single camera simultaneous
particle image velocimetry (PIV) – laser induced fluorescence (LIF) technique. The
plume was released into a developing boundary layer, which it rapidly mixed across
in the vertical; hence the majority of the plume growth was in the lateral direction.
The lateral growth rate of the characteristic plume width was determined to be
linearly proportional to the downstream distance, x. This somewhat surprising result
is discussed.
