IAHR Training Course on Numerical modeling of outfall systems and discharges: practical aspects

Outfall systems are a critical component of hydro-environmental systems and play a key role in discharging the wastewater into ambient waters. Achieving efficient, optimal mixing of effluent discharged by outfall systems is crucial to minimizing their environmental impacts.

The short course deals with various topics related to numerical simulation of outfall systems in various settings, including density currents from desalination plants, an introduction to numerical methods such as Large Eddy Simulation (LES) of outfall systems and effluent mixing, wave effects and mixing of effluent discharges under wave-current interaction, large scale and small scale modeling of outfall systems, application of machine learning methods and artificial intelligence in the simulation and design of outfall systems, numerical simulation of outfall systems in shallow waters, integrated catchment modelling for wet-weather overflow abatement, and assessing near and far field impacts against regulatory guidelines with an overview of Australian methodologies and approaches.
