The Effect of Small Density Differences at River Confluences

The Effect of Small Density Differences at River Confluences

Remarkable 3D flow structures occur at river confluences with small density differences due to differences in sediment concentration or temperature. We explain these by comparing numerical simulations for an idealized confluence with aerial photographs of several river confluences where color differ...
