Simulation of turbulent buoyant jet mixing behavior in the… near-field (the initial jet characteristics of momentum flux, buoyancy
flux, and outfall geometry influence the jet trajectory and mixing) far-field (density current region followed by a passive diffusion
region) The hydrodynamic simulation system contains a collection of
regional flow models based on… Integral (conservation of mass, heat, and momentum) length scale (based on dimensional analysis) passive diffusion (turbulence in the ambient environment becomes the
dominating mixing mechanism)

Jets and Plumes:Summary
Simple analytical equations describe time averaged values for velocity and concentrations in jets and plumes
Interactions with the environment (boundaries, cross flows, density differences) complicate the description of jets and plumes
Computer based expert system developed at Cornell (CORMIX) can be used to predict interaction of jets and plumes with the environment
Predictions based on combination of theory and empirical studies using dimensional analysis

Boston Harbor tidal cycles
Simulation of tidal exchange in Boston Harbor , based on a high-resolution (100 m grid spacing) depth-averaged computer model. Water in Boston Harbor is dyed red, and tracked over three tidal cycles. Colors between red and blue represent mixing of Boston Harbor water with Massachusetts Bay water (dyed blue). Due to the jet-like behavior of the ebb tidal currents, water is expelled from the harbor in pulses, leading to effective flushing of the harbor over several days.

Spring Freshet in Massachusetts Bay: April-May 1992
Spring Freshet
Near-surface salinity (2 m depth) is tracked during May 1992, revealing a plume of fresh water from the Merrimack River that moves into Massachusetts Bay. The yellow arrow that flops around indicates the wind direction and speed. Note that a snapshot of the salinity on May 22 (as one might sample from a monthly CTD cruise) would give the distinct visual impression of a large plume from Boston Harbor, when in fact most of this water came from the Merrimack River!

Boston Harbor Sewage Outfalls Effluent Concentration
Boston Harbor Sewage Outfalls Effluent Concentration
Effect of new Boston Outfall
Simulation of effluent dilution from the existing and future Boston Sewage effluent outfalls based on a three-dimensional circulation model of Massachusetts Bay during Jan-Mar 1990 and Jun-Aug 1990. Isosurfaces (three-dimensional contours) of effluent concentration are shown representing 1 part effluent to 200 parts seawater. This is a level below which nutrient inputs due to the outfall should be hard to distinguish above background fluctuations. During both the winter and summer months the effluent from the future outfall (represented by the blue isosurface) covers a smaller region than the effluent from the existing outfall (represented by the purple isosurface).
These simulations were used as evidence to assess the impact of the future outfall on endangered right whales.
