Hello,
I had maked a simulation for the dispersion of sediment dredger. I have results, but i am realy still confused for the concentration of sediments.
The result below, show that after the stoping of dredging the sediment plume propaged in the domain. But for the concentration in the reality i have 2.5 kg/s of sediment which are resuspended from the dredging, and 0.1 m3/s dredging volume rate. So we can say that for each 0.1 m3 of sediment dredged 2.5kg was resuspended.
Now i had make a value of tracer of 44.64 wich calculate me a quantity of 25, with the formula of MASSOU in the subroutine difsou.f.
Wich i could not understand is the dilution calculated from the equation of advection, i had received many reply for this topics but i still don't understand.
The results:
1h of the simulation:
4hour of simulation and dredging:
3hour after the end of dredging
The end of the simulation
Can some one explain me?
Thank you in advance.
BEST REGARDS.
YASMINA.
