The object of this project was to develop a Water Quality Model
for Westernport Bay. The literature describing the dispersion process
was critically examined and it was concluded that the Lagrangian des-
scription is a more direct representation of the actual dispersion
process. Therefore the Lagrangian random walk model was developed to
model the transport of conservative wastes in turbulent flow.
A variety of field experiments were carried out to assess the
different process causing mixing in Westernport Bay, and their relative
importance.
Computer programs were developed for a hydrodynamic and random
walk transport model. When calibration and verification have been completed
it is believed that the Water Quality Model described herein will
be a useful tool in representing waste movement in Westernport Bay.
