Computer simulation of thermal processes in water bodies under different hydrometeorological conditions

Abstract

Key to the solution of a wide range of technological and ecological problems is getting comprehensive and reliable estimates of the parameters of temperature fields generated by waste water discharges taking into account a set of technological and hydrometereological parameters. In this work, the problem under consideration is analysed, using as an example the Magnitogorsk Iron and Steel Works (MMK), one of the world’s largest steel producers and a leading Russian metal company. The discharge channels of MMK drain warm water in the Magnitogorsk reservoir of the Ural River.
