Abstract

In cases of polluted shallow lakes, dilution may provide short term relieve in terms of water quality. However, the efficiency of the dilution technique depends on wide range of influences, making the choice of design parameters quite difficult. The quantifier of mixing coupled with a numerical flow simulator makes a suitable design tool. The combination proved to be sensitive enough to detect even slight differences in the efficiency of dilution between different dilution scenarios. In the presented case study it helped the authors to determine the most suitable location of the emission points for the introduction of clean water into the lake.
