Abstract Temperature, salinity, water-level and current speed around brine outflow of desalination site in the Southeastern Coast of Kish Island is investigated. The dominant current is east-west tidal current with a weak residual current which affects current field partially southward. The brine discharge driven hypersaline pollution dispersion is simulated applying MIKE 21, considering thr...
متن کاملModelling and field measurements in support of the hydrokinetic resource assessment for the Tanana river at Nenana, Alaska
A comprehensive methodology to assess the hydrokinetic potential of a reach of the Tanana river near Nenana, Alaska, is developed to help determine the suitability of the reach for installing and operating hydrokinetic electric turbines. The methodology utilizes field measurements and two-dimensional model simulations to define the discharge, velocity, power density, turbulence, and Froude numb...
