Hydraulic characteristics of a rectangular mixed-cell rearing unit Hydraulic characteristics of a rectangular mixed-cell rearing unit
We describe a fish rearing unit modification that establishes mixed flow reactor (MFR) behavior in a rectangular vessel so as to eliminate metabolite concentration gradients, increase current velocities and improve solids scour at low water exchange rates. A standard raceway section 14.5 m long was modified to create six counter-rotating mixed cells, each 2.4 m wide by 2.4 m long. Cells...

Bottom currents and sediment transport in Long Island Sound: A modeling study Bottom currents and sediment transport in Long Island Sound: A modeling study
A high resolution (300-400 m grid spacing), process oriented modeling study was undertaken to elucidate the physical processes affecting the characteristics and distribution of sea-floor sedimentary environments in Long Island Sound. Simulations using idealized forcing and high-resolution bathymetry were performed using a three-dimensional circulation model ECOM (Blumberg and Mellor...

ARD remediation with limestone in a CO2 pressurized reactor ARD remediation with limestone in a CO2 pressurized reactor
We evaluated a new process for remediation of acid rock drainage (ARD). The process treats ARD with intermittently fluidized beds of granular limestone maintained within a continuous flow reactor pressurized with CO2. Tests were performed over a thirty day period at the Toby Creek mine drainage treatment plant, Elk County, Pennsylvania in cooperation with the Pennsylvania Department of

Distribution of surficial sediment in Long Island Sound and adjacent waters: Texture and total organic carbon Distribution of surficial sediment in Long Island Sound and adjacent waters: Texture and total organic carbon
The surficial sediment distribution within Long Island Sound has been mapped and described using bottom samples, photography, and sidescan sonar, combined with information from the geologic literature. The distributions of sediment type and total organic carbon (TOC) reveal several broad trends that are largely related to the sea-floor geology, the bathymetry, and the effects of modern...
