Near- and far-field model coupling methodology for wastewater discharges
نویسنده
چکیده
The prediction of pollutant concentrations in the coastal waters is essential for water quality control. The description of physical processes and their implementation in computer models shows that there is neither a “complete model” including all important spatial and temporal scales of the dominant processes nor a standard procedure for the coupling of models. This is explained by deficiencies in either implementing dominant physical near-field processes into a far-field model and/or coupling the models to each other. Capabilities and limitations of modeling techniques applied to waste plume mixing and dispersion from submerged multiport discharges are discussed for environmental impact analysis. The recommended procedure combines the relative strengths of the near-field mixing zone model CORMIX and the Eulerian farfield flow and water quality models within Delft3D.

متن کاملStepped Spillway Performance: Study of the Pressure and Turbulent Kinetic Energy versus Discharge and Slope
In the present study, flow over flat and pooled stepped spillways was simulated three dimensionally. The VOF method and k- ε (RNG) turbulent model was used to simulate the flow over the stepped spillway. The results indicated that the numerical model was acceptably capable of simulating the flow over the pooled and flat stepped spillways for different discharges. Following that, the effect of d...

Positive coupling effect in gas condensate reservoirs is assessed through a pure theoretical approach. A combination of linear stability analysis and long bubble approximation is applied to describe gas condensate coupled flow and relative permeability, thereof. The role of capillary number in gas condensate flow is clearly expressed through closed formula for relative permeability. While the m...

Offshore structures such as jacket platforms have to inevitably be designed against sever environmental actions. In seismically active areas these structures also become susceptible to earthquake excitations. Strong ground motions recorded in recent earthquakes, including the 1995 Kobe, Japan, 1999 Chi-chi, Taiwan and 1999 Kocaeli, Turkey earthquakes, revealed that the dynamic motions in nea...

The main challenge in Wastewater Treatment Plants (WWTP) by activated sludge process is the reduction of the energy consumption that varies according to the pollutant load of influent. However, this energy is fundamentally used for aerators in a biological process. The modeling of energy consumption according to the decision parameters deemed necessary for good control of the active sludge ...
