    • User's Manual for the MIT Lake Circulation Models (MITLAKE) 

      Shanahan, Peter; Harleman, Donald R. F. (Cambridge, Mass. : Ralph M. Parsons Laboratory, Aquatic Science and Environmental Engineering, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Civil Engineering, 1982-06)
      Introduction: During the course of research into water quality and hydrodynamic interactions in Lake Balaton in Hungary (Shanahan et al., 1981 and Shanahan and Harleman, 1982) two models of wind-driven lake circulation ...

    • Subscale Steam Tests of Vapor Supression Pool Mixing and Circulation with Application to the Shoreham Nuclear Power Station 

      Adams, E. Eric; Baker, Richard M. (Cambridge, MA. : Ralph M. Parsons Laboratory, Hydrodynamics and Coastal Engineering, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Civil Engineering, 1981-12)
      This report addresses the temperature distribution induced within a suppression pool by a steam discharge. The problem is first examined theoretically to identify the dominant zones and to estimate circulation and mixing ...

    • Entrainment in Diffusive Thermohaline Systems: Application to Salt Gradient Solar Ponds 

      Atkinson, Joseph F.; Adams, E. Eric; Melville, W. Kendall; Harleman, Donald R. F. (Cambridge, MA. : Ralph M. Parsons Laboratory, Hydrology and Water Resource Systems, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Civil Engineering, 1984-12)
      The development of a numerical model for simulating the temporal evolution of vertical temperature and salinity profiles in a salt gradient solar pond is described. The model uses a mixed-layer approach and a general ...
