Abstract
To simulate the radionuclide transport in stratified water bodies the THREETOX three-dimensional time-dependent flow and transport code has been developed. The prognostic variables are the three components of the velocity field, temperature, salinity, surface elevation, suspended sediment concentration, the radionuclide concentration in the solute, suspended sediments and bottom deposition. The model was applied to the Kiev reservoir and Dnieper-Bug estuary to predict the radionuclide fields of Chernobyl origin. Results revealed that THREETOX appears to simulate well the radionuclide migration in the stratified and homogeneous water bodies with complicated geometry and time-dependent flow.
