Application of Numerical Models in Marine Pollution Research in China

摘要

Like many countries in the world, China is also facing serious problems of marine pollution in the coastal zone. The prevailing concern is eutrophication of the coastal Water due to river inputs and, in some bays, also due to the Over-expansion of aquaculture. As part of the marine Pollution research activities in China, applications of Mathematical models are also widely used, both to un- Derstand the present and to project the future. In this Paper, selected Chinese works are reviewed, especially With respect to the effort in reducing the errors introduced In the numerical treatment of the water quality equa- Tion.
