Design and Dispersion Analysis for Upgrade and Replacement of Beach Outfalls
Publication: Pipelines 2006: Service to the Owner
Abstract
Technical design considerations for an offshore outfall at Myrtle Beach for discharge of stormwater carrying undesirable bacteria are described, together with dispersion characteristics of the discharge. Hydrodynamic forces associated with a 50yr design wave are considered to determine the required burial depths for the pipes and for providing rubble protection at the outfall nozzle. Dispersion studies included laboratory experiments and mathematical models to determine the rate of dilution of the discharge water through mechanical dispersion and bacteria die-off associated with the field environment.
