Abstract

Mathematical simulation has been used to predict the mode of dispersion of a pollutant stream entering a lake. The model used is based on certain simplifying assumptions but it is versatile enough to allow the magnitude of dimensionless parameters, source terms and boundary and initial conditions to be altered. Furthermore, by imposing a laminar velocity distribution on the system the model can be used to simulate the dispersion pattern in a lake where there is a slow bulk flow. The method developed can be employed as a useful tool for the prediction of the extent of pollution in a lake under specific conditions. Experimental verification of the utility of the model is now being attempted.
