Water Quality Modeling in Persian Gulf Considering Thermal Pollution Sources of Industrial Plants
Authors: not saved
Abstract:
Numerical modeling is carried out to investigate the spreading pattern of industrial wastewater released from coastal refineries and power plant into thePersian Gulf. The pollutant sources due to the wastewater outfall of the coastal industrial plants are completely considered in the model. The effects of sources are inspected on the adjacent marine environment. The numerical model is developed using finite difference method in two horizontal dimensions in plane. The model is applied in several planes along the depth and the effect of depth variation is considered in a depth integrated manner. The pattern of pollution spreading in the water is accurately investigated in various conditions due to spring and neap tides. The various conditions of wind are also considered in the study including various direction and speed based on the available meteorological data. It was concluded that the locations of wastewater outfall and the discharge, temperature, velocity and direction of outfall jet are appropriate to satisfy all of the environmental rules.

An oil spill model coupled with a hydrodynamic model was developed to simulate the spread of oil slick in real marine conditions considering the effects of tidal currents, wind and wave. The hydrodynamic model is verified using the measurements of tidal elevations and current speeds at the Persian Gulf. Effect of various governing factors on oil slick movement, tidal currents, wind and wave, ar...

Knotted proteins are more commonly observed in recent years due to the enormously growing number of structures in the Protein Data Bank (PDB). Studies show that the knot regions contribute to both ligand binding and enzyme activity in proteins such as the chromophore-binding domain of phytochrome, ketol–acid reductoisomerase or SpoU methyltransferase. However, there are still many misidentified...
