Lagrangian transport of suspended pollutants in Johor Strait

Abstract

Using the method of tracking marked particles, the Lagrangian transport of suspended pollutants discharging from ten arbitrarily designated sources are obtained from a finite element tidal model for Johor Strait. They are used to study the mid-term pollutant convective transport characteristics in the estuary for a time duration of six days following the release of pollutants.
