Abstract

A simple tracer experiment carried out on a large underground water-pipe enabled the following to be determined: the volumetric rate of flow, the linear velocity in the pipe and the amount of silt which had settled-out in the pipe. The longitudinal mixing or dispersion coefficient was also determined. The experiment offers a novel illustration of the power of tracer methods to provide useful information about otherwise inaccessible regions.
