Abstract
An ocean waste disposal system (OWDS) is a complex multidisciplinary engineering problem. The aim of this paper is to focus on the most relevant aspects, pointing out the most important processes and parameters and analysing how they interact. A research programme for field data collection and statistical analysis is recommended to define paramenters. The modelling of specific processes must contribute to a simulation which relates and weights the major factors and parameters operating. A conceptual simulation model is shown to be useful in designing the general layout of the system, and to predict its performance and environmental impact. Finally an optional optimization model is suggested for use with the simulation to define further the optimum OWDS design.
