A numerical study of flow hydrodynamics and mixing processes at open channel confluences

River confluences - locations where rivers join one another - are fundamental components of natural drainage networks. Differences in topography, geology, soils, land use, and human activities within watersheds upstream of confluences can produce differences in thermal or chemical properties of rive...
