Selective withdrawal of a linearly stratified fluid in a triangular reservoir

Hnidei, Stephen D. January 1990 (has links)
The water in most reservoirs is density stratified with depth. This stratification leads to the inhibition of vertical movement, consequently, when water is withdrawn from the reservoir it tends to move in a jet-like layer called a withdrawal layer, towards the sink. By placing the sink at a certain depth, one is able to selectively withdrawal water from a limited range of depths and thus obtain water of a desired quality. Much work has been done in this field by considering a simplified boundary geometry, usually rectangular. However little attention has been given to the effects of accurate boundary geometry. For this thesis, five numerical experiments were conducted for the problem of a two-dimensional, viscous, incompressible, slightly-stratified flow towards a sink in a triangular reservoir. / Science, Faculty of / Mathematics, Department of / Graduate
