Abstract | In densely populated coastal cities in Asia, wastewater outfalls are often located not far from sensitive areas such as beaches or shellfisheries. The impact and risk assessment of effluent discharges poses particular technical challenges, as pollutant concentration needs to be accurately predicted both in the near field and intermediate field. The active mixing close to the discharge can be modeled by proven plume models, while the fate and transport far beyond the mixing zone can be well-predicted by three-dimensional (3D) circulation models based on the hydrostatic pressure approximation. These models are usually applied separately with essentially one-way coupling; the action of the plume mixing on the external flow is neglected. Important phenomena such as surface buoyant spread or source-induced changes in ambient stratification cannot be satisfactorily addressed by such an approach. A Distributed Entrainment Sink Approach is proposed to model effluent mixing and transport in the intermediate field by dynamic coupling of a 3D far field shallow water circulation model with a Lagrangian near-field plume model. The action of the plume on the surrounding flow is modeled by a distribution of sinks along the plume trajectory and an equivalent diluted source flow at the predicted terminal height of rise. In this way, a two-way dynamic link can be established at grid cell level between the near and far-field models. The method is demonstrated for a number of complex flows including the interaction of a confined rising plume with ambient stratification, and the mixing of a line plume in cross flow. Numerical predictions are in excellent agreement with basic laboratory data. The general method can be readily incorporated in existing circulation models to yield accurate predictions of mixing and transport in the intermediate/far field. © 2007 ASCE. |
