The circulation patterns of the Kuroshio Current, the Taiwan Warm Current （TWC）, the Tsushima Current and the Yangtze Diluted Water （YDW） were successfully simulated with this model. The calculated results are fairly consistent with previous observations and studies. Based on this baroclinic current field, the Lagranian particles tracking was simulated to estimate the possible origins of the red tides frequently occurring in the Yangtze River estuary and its adjacent sea areas. If there are ＂seeds＂ （cysts） of the red tide algae at the seabed of the Taiwan Strait, the offshore of Fujian and Zhejiang Provinces and the northeast Taiwan Island, those are extremely possible sources of the red tides in the Yangtze River estuary and its adjacent sea areas. Field data are needed to confirm it. Numerical simulation to estimate the source of the red tides is a new application of the Lagrangian transport in the marine ecology.展开更多

In the case of side discharged jets with tempera- ture difference and transverse current, the new model has been investigated numerically in detail.

It has been verified that if the discharged flow rates are relatively small, when the pollutant plume in the near and transitional zons is predicted, the agreement with experimental and field data simulated by the model is better than by the model or other methods commonly used in engineering.展开更多
