NUMERICAL SIMULATION OF THE CHARACTERISTICS OF EFFLUENTS IN THREE GORGES RESERVOIR
三峡水库岸边排污的特性及数值模拟研究

Numerical simulation is an important method to study the pollution problem due to the wastewater discharge. The features of water flow and wastewater distribution and related difficulties in numerical simulation are discussed in the present paper. Both advantages and disadvantages of the depth-averaged model and varied multi-layer models are analyzed when they are applied to investigate the wastewater discharging into Three Gorges Reservoir (TGR). The present study may be helpful to the further development of wastewater effluent model for TGR as well.
