Therefore, identifying key phenomena, understanding their relative importance, and establishing causal relationships between them is no trivial task. Analysis of primitive variables (e.g., velocity components, pressure, temperature, concentration) is not always conducive to the most fruitful interpretations. Examining auxiliary variables introduced for diagnostic purposes is an option worth considering. In this respect, tracer and timescale methods are proving to be very effective. Such methods can help address questions such as, "where does a fluid-born dissolved or particulate substance come from and where will it go?" or, "how fast are the transport and reaction phenomena controlling the appearance and disappearance such substances?" These issues have been dealt with since the 19th century, essentially by means of ad hoc approaches. However, over the past three decades, methods resting on solid theoretical foundations have been developed, which permit the evaluation of tracer concentrations and diagnostic timescales (age, residence/exposure time, etc.) across space and time and using numerical models and field data. This book comprises research and review articles, introducing state-of-the-art diagnostic theories and their applications to domains ranging from shallow human-made reservoirs to lakes, river networks, marine domains, and subsurface flowsBiology, life sciencesbicsscResearch & information: generalbicsscADCP measurementageage distribution functionantimony 125 (125Sb)biogeochemicalBiscay Bayboundary conditionsCARTcoastalcoupled wave-ocean modelsdata collectionDelft3Ddensity currentdiagnostic timescalesdispersionecologicalEnglish Channelestuaryexposure timefloating structuresfloodplainflushing timegeophysical and environmental fluid flowshydrodynamichydrodynamic modelhydrogeological tracer testinterpretation methodskineticsLagrangian transport modellingmacro-tidalMahakam Deltamarinameteorological influencemodel skillsmodelingn/aNorth Seanumerical modelingocean drifterspartial differential equationspartitioningpassive tracersPearl River Estuaryradionuclidereactive tracersreactive transportresidence timereturn coefficientreturn-flowReynolds stressSacramento-San Joaquin DeltaSan Francisco Estuaryshallow lakeshallow reservoirsource water fingerprintingstable isotopessub-basinstailor-made tracer designterrestrial dissolved substancesThree Gorges Reservoirtidal hydrodynamicstimescaletracertransporttransport processtransport time scalestransport timescalestributary baytritium (3H)turbulencewater agewater level regulationwater renewalwave biaswave-induced processeswind influenceBiology, life sciencesResearch & information: generalDeleersnijder Ericedt1270893Koszalka Inga MonikaedtLucas Lisa VedtDeleersnijder EricothKoszalka Inga MonikaothLucas Lisa VothBOOK9910576873603321Tracer and Timescale Methods for Passive and Reactive Transport in Fluid Flows3035283UNINA
