Abstract
Performance of a new water quality improvement system in a reservoir is experimentally examined by using a hydraulic model. The facility is such that anaerobic and polluted bottom water is pumped up and showered on the water surface. Although some projects of this system are running in several reservoirs, their performance are not well known. The target of this study is to find how the discharged water is transported in a reservoir and how much water quality mixing is expected to occur. In order to focus on hydrodynamics of the system, fresh and salt waters are used as working fluids to simulate warm surface water and cold bottom water, respectively.Hydrodynamic behavior of the diffusing plume are examined based on a dimensional argument. The result would provide information in developing a high-performance system for reservoir water purification.
