Development of Simple Formula for Transverse Dispersion Coefficient in Meandering Rivers
This study aims to develop a straightforward and practical formula to estimate transverse dispersion coefficients in meandering natural rivers, a critical factor for predicting solute transport. We present a novel expression for the transverse dispersion coefficient based on dispersion and hydraulic data sets obtained from tracer experiments conducted in natural rivers. A distinctive feature of the formula is its reliance on one dimensionless hydraulic parameter, . To assess the effectiveness and accuracy of our proposed formula, we compare it with previously established equations commonly employed in the field. Furthermore, we apply the formula to natural river bends situated in the Nakdong River of Korea. This equation serves to estimate the initial value of the dispersion coefficient in two-dimensional solute transport modeling. As a result, the calibrated value of the dimensionless transverse dispersion coefficient is 0.97, which is only a 16% difference between the initial value of 0.81 as obtained from the formula. The formula presented in this study, simplifying and utilizing the dimensionless hydraulic parameter, offers a promising approach to estimating transverse dispersion in natural meandering rivers in cases where tracer and secondary flow data are unavailable. Additionally, the formula can be refined with more recent dispersion data, leading to a clearer, more straightforward, and validated formulation that captures the intricate interplay between topography and transverse dispersion.
