Abstract

A review is carried out of the wide range of numerical methods available for modelling contaminant transport in rivers and estuaries. Theoretical considerations indicate that Eulerian–Lagrangian methods (ELMs), particularly the Lagrange–Galerkin method, show the most promise for these problems. Such a method is implemented in a contaminant transport simulator flexible enough for modelling realistic problems. Test problems demonstrate the high performance of the simulator in comparison with other methods. © 1998 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved
