 | Numerical Simulation of Effluent Discharges: Applications with OpenFOAM Subjects: Earth Sciences; Engineering & Technology; Mathematics & Statistics; Mathematics & Statistics for Engineers; Earth Sciences; Civil Environmental and Geotechnical Engineering; Mechanical Engineering; Advanced Mathematics; Applied Mathematics; Hydraulic Engineering; Marine and Offshore Structures; Pollution; Water Engineering; Water Science; Fluid Mechanics; Mathematical Modeling; Hydrology; Analysis - Mathematics; Applied Mechanics; Numerical Simulation of Effluent Discharges: Applications with OpenFOAM provides a resource for understanding the effluent discharge mechanisms and the approaches for modeling them. It bridges the gap between the fundamentals of jets and numerical techniques in hydraulic engineering by integrating the numerical modeling techniques in effluent discharge modeling. With a detailed discussion on performing numerical modeling of effluent discharges in various ambient waters, with different discharge configurations, the book covers the application of OpenFOAM in predictive and regulatory simulations. Features: Discusses effluent discharges into various ambient waters and predictive tools for design and regulatory purposes. Emphasis placed on numerical modeling and simulations, rather than general examples. Provides real technical solutions and tools for minimizing the impact on coasts and other water bodies. Covers the fundamentals in predicting the mixing of effluents resulting from desalination plants. Includes an introduction to OpenFOAM and its applications.The book will benefit both academics and professional engineers practicing in the area of environmental fluid mechanics and working with effluent discharge modeling.
