Field Measurements of Velocity and Physical Parameters of Seawater and Numerical Modeling of Brine Discharge from the Desalination Plant in the Southeastern Coast of Kish Island-Iran

Abstract Temperature, salinity, water-level and current speed around brine outflow of desalination site in the Southeastern Coast of Kish Island is investigated. The dominant current is east-west tidal current with a weak residual current which affects current field partially southward. The brine discharge driven hypersaline pollution dispersion is simulated applying MIKE 21, considering thr...

Determining the Hydrokinetic Potentials of the Transversal Section of the Watercourse Via the ADCP Method and Dimensioning of Hydrokinetic Power Plant

Preliminary note The kinetic energy of river current is weakly researched for the possibility of production of electrical energy. Thus presentation of a model of optimizing the results of measuring the partial speeds of the transversal section of the watercourse is made, based on which the hydrokinetic potential of the transversal section of the River Drava near Donji Miholjac is determined. Th...
