Abstract
The theory of measuring dispersion in flow systems by tracer experiments is extended to two-dimensional flow and mixing fields. Closed form analytical expressions for the temporal moments of the response to point source tracer injections are presented. These expressions are used in a non-linear parameter estimation algorithm to extract the fluid velocity and the two diagonal components of the dispersion tensor from temporal moment measurements at points near the tracer injection point. The robustness of this approach is examined by numerical solution of the transport equation, to see the impact of violations of the model assumptions on the parameter estimates.
