Abstract

Sewage and industrial effluents from coastal cities are often discharged into the adjacent sea after some land-based treatment. In modern design, the wastewater is often discharged in buoyant jet groups from risers mounted on a submarine outfall on the seabed to achieve rapid mixing of effluents with tidal flow. A mathematical model for buoyant jets in currents based on the Lagrangian models, called JETLAG, was developed. The paper presents a system called VISJET, for visualizing the ocean sewage discharge system based on the JETLAG model. We discuss the features of VISJET system and show how computer visualization can be used to help with the design of an ocean sewage discharge system
