Determination of Advective or Diffusive/Dispersive Water Quality Flux Domain of the Lower Portion of the James River in Richmond, Virginia
The Peclet number is a flux characteristic parameter which represents the ratio of advective transport to diffusive/dispersive transport. A higher Peclet number indicates a bulk mass flow-driven advection dominated body of water that behaves similar to a Plug Flow Reactor, while a lower Peclet number indicates a diffusive/dispersive dominated body of water which is more […]
