dc.description.abstract | Mixing was studied in free water surface wetland receiving pumped river water, by measurement of the non-interacting tracer lithium. The flow pattern was found to be intermediate between plug flow and well-mixed. The nominal detention time, calculated from volume aand flow, was 50% larger than the mean tracer detention time. The peak time was found to be one-half the tracer detention time. Three models were constructed: plug flow with dispersion, tanks in series, and a series-parallel network of tanks. All proved capable of fitting the exit tracer concentration curves but the network model provided a better fit to internal measurements. Pumping frequency was high enough to allow use of an average flowrate. The degree of mixing, as characterized by the variance of the exit tracer response curve, was comparable to that found by other researchers for wetlands, ponds and rivers. | en_US |
