Abstract
The development of water quality prediction models will remain a crucial activity in man’s attempt to control pollution. The early modeling efforts of Streeter and Phelps, as well as succeeding efforts, have attempted to elucidate the complexities of reaeration phenomenons. Summaries of these may be found in comprehensive reviews produced by Bennett and Rathbun (2) and Lau (7). It is apparent from both these reviews that considerable effort has been devoted to analysis of the effects of turbulence in dispersion phenomenons. The results have invariably put forth a series of increasingly complex models with which to predict water quality characteristics. These models can be grouped under two headings: (1) phenomenological models*; and (2) computational models.
