NATURAL NITRATE REMOVAL IN SHALLOW SUBSURFACE STREAM FLOWS

Water Quality in Walnut Creek Watershed: Nitrate-Nitrogen in Soils, Subsurface Drainage Water, and Shallow Groundwater

Nonpoint source contamination of surface and groundwater resources with nitrate-N (NO3-N) has been linked to agriculture across the midwestern USA. A 4-yr study was conducted to assess the extent of NO3-N leaching in a central Iowa field. Water flow rate was monitored continuously and data were stored on an internal datalogger. Water samples for chemical analysis were collected weekly provided ...

Shallow Water Flows in Channels

We consider the shallow water equations for flows through channels with arbitrary cross-section. The system forms a hyperbolic set of balance laws. Exact steady-state solutions are available and are controlled by the relation between the bottom topography and the channel geometry. We use a Roetype upwind scheme for the system. Considerations of conservation, near steady-state accuracy, velocity...

Nonclassical Shallow Water Flows

This paper deals with violent discontinuities in shallow water flows with large Froude number F . On a horizontal base, the paradigm problem is that of the impact of two fluid layers in situations where the flow can be modelled as two smooth regions joined by a singularity in the flow field. Within the framework of shallow water theory we show that, over a certain timescale, this discontinuity ...
