Feasibility of Modeling Remedial Measures for Microbiological Pollution of the St. Clair River at Sarnia Bay

A regular grid finite difference hydrodynamic model, which includes the advective acceleration and eddy viscosity terms, was used to predict the circulation in the nearshore areas around Sarnia Bay. Coupled with the hydrodynamic model, a two-dimensional pollutant transport and fate model, which included the advection, diffusion, and decay terms, was used to predict the spatial and temporal distributions of indicator bacteria. This modeling …
