A series of model experiments representing base case, remote-wind-induced water level set-up and local winds cases are conducted. Model results indicate that the pollutant mean age and the system residence time are functions of gravitational circulation in the PRE. The system responses to remote-wind-induced water level set-up are different in different portions of the PRE. Under such condition, dissolved substances in the upstream portion of the PRE have a younger age and shorter residence time （compared with the base case） , by contrast, they have a older age and longer residence time in the downstream portion of the PRE. Upriver and downriver local winds appear to have opposite impacts on pollutant age distributions. The substances are retained much longer within the PRE under upriver wind than those under downriver wind. The model results also suggest that across - river winds may lead to longer residence time through enhanced turbulence mixing, which slows down the gravitational circulation in the PRE.展开更多

The trends of 3-D flow fie1ds and the fullnessfactor, Ci, were discussed in detail over a wide range of now parameters and the geometryof fan-shaped holes at this exit plane. It has been confirmed that the main reason of creat-ing longitudinal bound vortices is not the flow iri the hole but the mixing of mainstreamand jet at its exit.展开更多
