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 flowsResearch & information: generalbicsscBiology, life sciencesbicsscresidence timeThree Gorges Reservoirtributary baydensity currentwater level regulationmarinawater renewaltransport timescalesreturn-flowmacro-tidalwind influencefloating structuresSan Francisco EstuarySacramento-San Joaquin Deltawater agetransport time scaleshydrodynamic modeltidal hydrodynamicsstable isotopesreactive tracerstailor-made tracer designhydrogeological tracer testkineticspartitioningMahakam Deltaageexposure timereturn coefficientCARTsource water fingerprintingfloodplainturbulenceADCP measurementwave biasReynolds stresstransport processpassive tracersterrestrial dissolved substancesPearl River Estuaryshallow lakemeteorological influencesub-basinsDelft3Dpartial differential equationsboundary conditionsgeophysical and environmental fluid flowsreactive transportinterpretation methodsdiagnostic timescalesage distribution functionradionuclidetracerdata collectionantimony 125 (125Sb)tritium (3H)dispersionmodelingEnglish ChannelNorth SeaBiscay Baytimescaletransporthydrodynamicecologicalbiogeochemicalcoastalestuaryflushing timeshallow reservoirnumerical modelingLagrangian transport modellingcoupled wave-ocean modelsocean drifterswave-induced processesmodel skillsResearch & information: generalBiology, life sciencesDeleersnijder Ericedt1270893Koszalka Inga MonikaedtLucas Lisa VedtDeleersnijder EricothKoszalka Inga MonikaothLucas Lisa VothBOOK9910576873603321Tracer and Timescale Methods for Passive and Reactive Transport in Fluid Flows3035283UNINA
