What are the correct terminologies in hydrology for flow speed and longitudinal dispersion coefficient of a river?

02 February 2017 1 6K Report

I used "flow speed" and "longitudinal dispersion coefficient" to describe the parameters in a one-dimensional river pollutant dispersion model. It seems that they are not the correct terminologies in hydrology. Could someone tell me the right ones? Thank you very much for your help!

Well,

Advection–Dispersion Equation An equation that arises frequently in hydrology is the advection–dispersion equation, which describes the transport of solutes such as a salt or dissolved species in a flowing fluid. It is applied in open fluids, such as streams, lakes, and rivers, as well as in porous media .

Sincerely
