Abstract
Details are given of the principle processes of flow and pollutant transport in coastal waters, estuaries, rivers, lakes and reservoirs and the application of deterministic numerical, or computer, models to predict such processes. A typical numerical modelling approach is outlined, involving a finite difference solution of the equations of mass and momentum conservation and the advective-diffusion equation, with examples being given of the application of such models to predict the spatial and time distribution of velocity components and water quality parameters in inland and coastal hydraulic basins.
