The combined effects of bifurcation and stratification may leadto a substantially greater rise in temperature than the rise expected in caseof unrestricted receiving body of water. In this study, the behavior of heatedeffluents discharged into bays with a restricted access to a large body ofwater is scrutinized experimentally by the help of a scaled physicalmodel.Dimensional analysis leads to a new dimensionless parameter Ar, arearestriction parameter, on which the difference between the excess temperaturesat the inlet of the strait for restricted and free receiving mediums, Δ(ΔT/ΔT0) is shownto be strongly dependent.
