Mixing between sea and fresh water layers in a floating storage tank with a concentric bottom opening

An investigation was made to study the rate of mixing between fresh and sea water layers in a cylindrical storage tank, with a concentric bottom opening, floating in a large body of sea water. Mixing as a result of both diffusion and entrainment under quiescent state and turbulent flow conditions we...
