Abstract: Experimental and numerical studies have shown that the influence of waves increases the ten-dency of saline intrusion in multi-riser sea outfalls. The flow field in the diffusor under such unsteady and inhomogeneous circumstances is in general very complex, but when sufficient wave energy is dissipated in the diffusor, a well-mixed flow regime occurs where numerical modelling can be applied. The numerical model seems to be able to calculate within a reasonable accuracy, the point where the intrusion begins.
