Extended Data Fig. 8: Intermodal behavior of the mixing interface in 40° confluence model, Mr = 2.2.
From: Mixing dynamics at river confluences governed by intermodal behaviour
a, Normalized lateral streamwise velocity profiles across the mixing interface at \(x < 10\;{{{\mathrm{m}}}}\) (solid line is Eq. (8)). b, Lateral turbulent fluxes of momentum \(- \overline {u\prime v\prime }\) across the mixing interface at \(x < 10\;{{{\mathrm{m}}}}\) (solid line is Eq. (S16)). c, Velocity difference along the mixing interface (dashed line is the free wake; solid blue line is Eq. (3); red line is Eq. (2)). d, Width of the mixing interface (dashed blue line is free wake, dashed red line is free mixing layer, red line is Eq. (6), and blue line is Eq. (7)).
