This report provides environmental engineers with a comprehensive survey of recent developments in the application of fluid mechanics theories to treat environmental problems. Chapters cover principles of fluid mechanics, as well as contemporary applications to environmental problems involving river, lake, coastal, and groundwater areas.

Topics include:

• turbulent diffusion;
• mixing of a turbulent jet in crossflow -- the advected line puff;
• multi-phase plumes in...
