Simulation of Suspended Substance Transporton the Continental Shelf: Horizontal Dispersion

摘要

Suspended substance dispersion in a water body is simulated in the case when the spreadarea is considerably larger than the depth of the water body. A model of horizontal dispersion of pol-lutants is formulated and analyzed. Numerical approaches to the computation of suspended substancedispersion in a water body are discussed. A meshless stochastic numerical algorithm is proposed thatcombines the advantages of two well-known techniques, namely, the discrete cloud method and thestochastic discrete particle method. The performance the method and its features are demonstrated bycomparing numerical results with the exact solution to the model problem of turbulent dispersion of apollution plume produced by a continuous source of suspension.
