The influence of tributaries on nocturnal valley flows

OSTI ID:10149783
While much is known about nocturnal drainage flow down a mountain valley, the factors that determine the structure of the valley flow are not completely understood. For example, there are a number of questions regarding the influence of tributaries on the valley flow. Does the presence of tributaries increase or decrease the mass flux out of the valley; does their presence alter the mass flux along the valley; how is the drainage jet structure modified by the presence of tributaries; or, is their presence insignificant? In this study, we investigate these questions via numerical experiments.
