The residence time of the water in Lago Maggiore (N. Italy): first results from an Eulerian-Lagrangian approach

The paper describes a numerical study for estimating the spatial distribution of the hydraulic residence time in Lago Maggiore. A 3D eulerian time-dependent CFD code has been applied under real conditions, taking into account the effects of the monthly mean values of the mass flow rates and temperat...
