Abstract
Many organizations predict the initial dilution and the position of the effluent field above an ocean outfall by numerically integrating the equations of motion. These equations include conservation of: (1) Mass; (2) horizontal momentum; (3) vertical momentum; and (4) buoyancy flux; their derivation with the associated assumptions is described in Fan and Brooks (1), and McBride (2). The set of equations generally includes an entrainment assumption similar to that proposed by Morton, et al. (3).
