Abstract

Both turbulent diffusion and dissolved matter dispersion are anisotropic processes. From the formal point of view this fact is expressed by the tensor form of the transfer coefficients. As a result, mixed derivatives of concentration appear in the transport equations. However many authors, for the sake of simplicity, neglect these derivatives. The paper deals with investiga- tion of the influence of cross-derivatives, exerted on the results of calculations. Theoretical and numerical analyses lead to the conclusion, that investigated terms are of great importance and should not be neglected. 1 Governing equations Two main versions of the dissolved matter conservation law are commonly used for description of the mass transfer pr
