Completion of PCFLOW3D model for simulation of flow and dispersion of pollutants |
Secondary abstract: |
An upgrade of the three-dimensional baroclinic mathematical model PCFLOW3D with a new
turbulence model Smagorinsky-vertical is presented. Several test cases were made to compare
this new turbulence model with other turbulence models already built in the PCFLOW3D
model. Additional verifications of the test results were performed using the commercial
software CORMIX of which main purpose is to simulate the near field areas of pollution
inflows. CORMIX is restricted to steady flows only and is based on equations of the jet
theory. We discovered that fast inflow jets can not be simulated well with the PCFLOW3D
model, because of the relatively large vertical components of speed that are usually present
and which the PCFLOW3D model cannot simulate correctly. The results indicate that the
Smagorinsky-vertical turbulence model works sufficiently well when simulating
hydrodynamic, but is less accurate when simulating pollutant transportation and dispersion.
The use of the Smagorinsky-vertikal model is presented on a concrete study of the
resuspension of mercury caused by the construction and operation of the gas terminal in the
Gulf of Trieste. Finally an additional long-term simulation on the basis of seasonally averaged
parameters and a few shorter inserts of strong wind and high discharges of the Soča River is
presented. As it is shown, the Smagorinsky-vertical model is by all means fit for use, although
a more detailed research of the effect of the CsmaV coefficient on the simulation accuracy
should be carried out in the future. |
