Numerical Modelling of the Pollution Distribution from the Underwater Discharge of the Wastewater Treatment Plant near the Heraclean Peninsula of the Crimea under Different Wind Directions

摘要

The present paper is focused on the numerical modelling of the pollution distribution in the coastal waters of the Crimean Peninsula from the underwater discharge of the biggest wastewater treatment plant in this area. Calculations are performed using three-dimensional σ-model of marine circulation INMOM (Institute of Numerical Mathematics Ocean Model) with high spatial resolution near the Crimean Peninsula for a one-year period, using WRF (Weather Research and Forecasting model) atmospheric forcing. Simulations are carried out according to the two experimental scenarios that differ in the presence of the leakage place in the pipeline and its absence. Simulation results are used to study temporal and spatial structure of the pollution distribution, taking into account hydrometeorological conditions and their seasonal and synoptic variation.
