Mixing Parameter Formula Elements

Variables
Mixing Parameter
Mixing Parameter is the degree of mixing in an estuary which can be approximately related to the ratio between the volume of the tidal prism and the river flow.
Symbol: M
Measurement: NAUnit: Unitless
Note: Value can be positive or negative.
Fresh Water River Flow
Fresh Water River Flow is the degree of mixing in an estuary and can be approximately related to the ratio between the volume of the tidal prism and the river flow.
Symbol: Qr
Measurement: Volumetric Flow RateUnit: m³/s
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Tidal Period
Tidal Period is the time taken for a specific site on Earth to rotate from an exact point under moon to same point under moon, also known as “tidal day” and it’s slightly longer than a solar day.
Symbol: T
Measurement: TimeUnit: s
Note: Value can be positive or negative.
Volume of Tidal Prism
Volume of Tidal Prism is the volume of water in an estuary or inlet between mean high tide and mean low tide, or the volume of water leaving an estuary at ebb tide.
Symbol: P
Measurement: VolumeUnit:
Note: Value can be positive or negative.

How to Evaluate Mixing Parameter?

Mixing Parameter evaluator uses Mixing Parameter = (Fresh Water River Flow*Tidal Period)/Volume of Tidal Prism to evaluate the Mixing Parameter, The Mixing Parameter formula is defined as the degree of mixing in an estuary which can be approximately related to the ratio between the volume of the tidal prism and the river flow. Mixing Parameter is denoted by M symbol.
