An estimator for the density of a sediment-induced stratified fluid

Auteur :
SHIATI, K.

Description :
In this paper equations are presented to evaluate the density of water as a function of temperature, salt content, and sediment load. A nomograph based on these equations is applied to estimating the density variations of the Shapur River, a sediment-laden stratified river in Southern Iran. It is illustrated that sediment gives rise to large peaks in density of the river.
