rivers are one of the major resources of drinking and agriculture water, so accurate control and modeling of their water quality is essential for protection of human health and environment stability. transient storage zones have a great effect on contaminant transport, especially in small mountain streams. the main effects include temporary detainment of solute and decrease its concentration in...

A modeling framework was proposed to investigate the impact of trans-boundary air pollutant transport on regional air quality. This was based on a combination of the HYSPLIT trajectory model, the CAMx air quality model, and the MM5 meteorological model. The examination of atmospheric PM10 pollution in Guangzhou within the Pearl River Delta (PRD) region of southern China was used as a case study...

In the present study, tried to examine the reactive solute relationships for transport and degradation processes through the rockfill media. By applying the analytical solution of reactive transport, the 1st to 3rd theoretical temporal moments have been extracted then, by using two methods of curve fitting and temporal moment matching, the coefficients of dispersion and degradation have been ex...

The presence of airborne pollutants in indoor environments has been associated with occupants' discomfort and/or adverse health effects. This study investigates occupational exposure in relation to indoor air mixing and source location relative to a human body. Experimental and computational methods were used to provide information about the pollutant distribution in the vicinity of the human b...

Unsealed roads and tracks are potentially significant sources of diffuse pollutants, particularly sediment. Identifying critical diffuse pollutant sources and their transport potential can greatly improve catchment-scale water quality management. This study describes the application and ongoing development of a road erosion and sediment transport model in the Moruya-Deua and Tuross River catchm...

The biochemical processes and associated water quality in many lakes mainly depend on their transport behaviors. Most existing methodologies for investigating transport behaviors are based on physically based numerical models. The pollutant transport trajectory and residence time of Poyang Lake are thought to have important implications for the steadily deteriorating water quality and the assoc...

Within this project, Meteo-France is in charge of evaluating the transport of the patch of pollution at the sea surface and the atmospheric dispersion of the chemical substance linked to its evaporation. A modelling system has been settled, which consists of the coupling of two models: The first one, MOTHY, is Meteo-France operational drift forecast system in case of marine pollution. It is a t...

To date, only few process-based models for subsurface flow treatment wetlands have been developed. For modelling a treatment wetland, these models have to comprise a number of sub-models to describe water flow, pollutant transport, pollutant transformation and degradation, effects of wetland plants, and transport and deposition of suspended particulate matter. The two most advanced models are t...

We present a hybrid finite-volume-particle numerical method for computing the transport of a passive pollutant by a flow. The flow is modeled by the oneand two-dimensional Saint-Venant system of shallow water equations and the pollutant propagation is described by a transport equation. This paper is an extension of our previous work [Chertock, Kurganov and Petrova, J. Sci. Comput. (to appear)],...
