| Summary: | <p>The numerical modeling of spatio-temporal evolution of
lagoon has an important role in predicting the behaviour of these systems.
Knowing the concentration of the pollutant field distribution in time and
space contributes significantly to the prediction of exceptional phenomena.
The purpose of this paper is to simulate the transport and dispersion of
salt at Nokoue Lake. To this end, the 2D hydrodynamic model SMS (Surface
Water Modeling System) has been used. Results showed that in flood period
the freshwater inflows produce a net seaward transport, while in low water
period the tides lead to periodic seaward and landward transport. The
developed numerical model is useful for predicting pollutants transport in
this system, for water quality management of the Nokoue Lake, and therefore,
fight against eutrophication.</p> |
