Title: | A three-dimensional pollutant transport model in orthogonal curvilinear and sigma coordinate system for Pearl river estuary | Authors: | Chau, KW Jiang, YW |
Issue Date: | 2004 | Source: | International journal of environment and pollution, 2004, v. 21, no. 2, p. 188-198 | Abstract: | In this paper, the development of a three-dimensional numerical pollutant transport model, which is coupled with a previously developed hydrodynamic model, is delineated in details. Special features of the model include orthogonal curvilinear coordinate in the horizontal direction and sigma coordinate in the vertical direction. Besides, a simple but efficient open boundary condition of pollutant transport is adopted. It is then applied to simulate the transport of a representative water quality parameter chemical oxygen demand in Manganese (COD[sub Mn]) in the Pearl river estuary, which is the largest estuary in South China. It can be shown, from the simulated results, that there exists a transboundary action between Guangdong province and Hong Kong special administrative region for the pollutants in the wastewater discharged from Pearl river delta region. | Keywords: | Three-dimensional Pollutant transport Numerical model Boundary condition Pearl River Estuary China |
