dc.description.abstract | A model to simulate the transport of suspended particulate matter by the Rhone River plume has been developed. The model
solves the 3D hydrodynamic equations, including baroclinic terms and a 1-equation turbulence model, and the suspended matter
equations including advection/diffusion of particles, settling and deposition. Four particle classes are considered simultaneously
according to observations in the Rhone. Computed currents, salinity and particle distributions are, in general, in good agreement
with observations or previous calculations. The model also provides sedimentation rates and the distribution of different particle
classes over the sea bed. It has been found that high sedimentation rates close to the river mouth are due to coarse particles that sink
rapidly. Computed sedimentation rates are also similar to those derived from observations. The model has been applied to simulate
the transport of radionuclides by the plume, since suspended matter is the main vector for them. The radionuclide transport model,
previously described and validated, includes exchanges of radionuclides between water, suspended matter and bottom sediment
described in terms of kinetic rates. A new feature is the explicit inclusion of the dependence of kinetic rates upon salinity. The model
has been applied to 137Cs and 239,240Pu. Results are, in general, in good agreement with observations | es |
