INTRODUCTION Mathematical modelling of the transport of salinity, pollutants and suspended matter in shallow waters involves the numerical solution of a convection diffusion equation. Many popular finite difference methods, such as the upwind scheme of Spalding (1972) and the flux-corrected scheme (Boris and Book, 1973) are available for the solution of the depthintegrated form of the convection diffusion equation. Another widely used approach is the split-operator approach (Sobey, 1983; Li and Chen, 1989), in which the convection and diffusion terms are solved by two different numerical methods. Noye and Tan (1988) used a weighted discretisation with the modified equivalent partial differential equation *Author to whom correspondence should be addressed. 425

2 426 S. Sankaranarayanan et al. approach for solving one-dimensional convection diffusion equations. Later, Noye and Tan (1989) extended this technique to solve two-dimensional convection diffusion equations. But the above mentioned techniques have difficulty in solving three-dimensional problems, because of extensive matrix inversions at each time step. Numerical studies show that the use of central differencing for the convective terms of the convection diffusion equation results in negative species concentration. Lam (1975) points out that the central difference approximation will overestimate the advective flux so much that it often causes a negative concentration to appear in the neighbouring cell. To circumvent such a shortcoming of central differencing, the upwind or donor cell method introduced by Gentry et al. (1966) is generally used. To overcome the shortcomings of numerical dispersion, Leonard (1979) introduced an upstream interpolation method, namely QUICK (Quadratic Upstream Interpolation Convective Kinematics) for one-dimensional unsteady flow. Later, Leonard (1988) gave an improved version of the QUICK scheme, eliminating the wiggles completely by introducing exponential integration into regions with sharp fronts. Chen and Falconer (1994) showed that the QUICK scheme is only second-order accurate in space and presented different forms of the third-order convection, second-order diffusion for the solution of the convection diffusion equation. A relatively recent phenomenon is the development of three-dimensional transport models. Lardner and Song (1991) used an algorithm splitting the horizontal convection and diffusion by an implicit finite element method, treating the horizontal convection diffusion explicitly and vertical convection diffusion by an implicit finite element method. It is to be noted that Lardner and Song (1991) used a first-order upwind scheme for the convection terms of the convection diffusion equations. Sommeijer and Kok (1995) made a detailed study on the use of various time-integration techniques for the numerical solution of threedimensional convection diffusion equations using finite differences. The numerical model was validated by comparing the results obtained with analytical solutions for the case of transport of a Gaussian pulse in unsteady and non-uniform flow. In the present study, a third-order upwind difference scheme as given in Kowalik and Murty (1993) has been used for the convection terms of the convection diffusion equation. Earlier, the authors Shankar et al. (1996) used a third-order upwind scheme for the convective terms of the shallow water momentum equations. 2. MATHEMATICAL MODELLING OF CONVECTION DIFFUSION PROCESSES 2.1. Governing equations The mathematical model describing the transport processes in three dimensions is given by the convection diffusion equation t + (CU) + (CV) + (CW) 2 C K x y z x x K 2 C 2 y y K 2 C 2 z z 2 = G(x, y, z, t) (1) subject to the initial conditions, C(x, y, z, 0), and the boundary conditions, Equations (2) (4).

The position of the free surface is denoted by z = (x, y, t) as shown in Fig. 1 and that of the bottom by z = h(x, y). The values of, U, V and W are to be obtained from a hydrodynamic model such as that of Shankar et al. (1996). Equation (1) reduces to t + U x + V y + W z K 2 C x x K 2 C 2 y y K 2 C 2 z z = G(x, y, z, t) 2 (5) since U x + V y + W = 0 z 2.2. Finite difference formulation of the convection term using first-order upwinding The values of C, U, V and W are defined at all the grid points i, j and k, respectively. A typical convection term / x is evaluated using first-order differencing as x = C i,j,k C i 1,j,k x C i +1,j,k C i,j,k x + O( x) if U(i, j, k) 0 + O( x) if U(i, j, k) 0 (6) Fig. 1. Definition sketch.

4 428 S. Sankaranarayanan et al. The first-order upwind scheme as given by Equation (6) is very popular in the numerical solution of the convection diffusion equation (Lardner and Song, 1991) and shallow water hydrodynamic equations (Shankar et al., 1995; Horie, 1980). However, the use of a firstorder upwind scheme is strongly discouraged by numerical modellers, since it introduces numerical diffusion. In other words, when a first-order upwind scheme is used for the convection terms, it amounts to introducing one additional term in the governing equations (O Brien, 1986) Finite difference formulation of the convection term using third-order upwinding In the present study, a third-order upwind differencing has been used as given in Kowalik and Murty (1993). A typical convective term / x is discretised using a third-order differencing as x = (C i 2,j,k 6C i 1,j,k +3C i,j,k +2C i +1,j,k )/6( x) +o( x) 3 (7) for U i,j,k 0 and i = 3,nx 2. x = ( 2C i 1,j,k 3C i,j,k +6C i +1,j,k C i +2,j,k )/6( x) +o( x) 3 (8) for U i,j,k 0 and i = 3,nx 2. However, for the boundary points, a four-point upstream formula can be written such that either points to the left or to the right are considered in the finite difference approximation. Near the left boundary, i.e. for i = 2 x = ( 11C i,j,k +18C i +1,j,k 9C i +2,j,k +2C i +3,j,k )/6( x) +o( x) 3 (9) Near the right boundary, i.e. for i = nx 1 x = ( 2C i 3,j,k +9C i 2,j,k 18C i 1,j,k +11C i,j,k )/6( x) +o( x) 3 (10) where nx is the number of grid points in the x direction. The second derivatives occurring in diffusion terms are evaluated using a central difference. A typical second derivative 2 C/ x 2 is evaluated using 2 C x = C i +1,j,k 2C i,j,k + C i 1,j,k (11) 2 ( x) Stability criterion Hindmarsh et al. (1984) established the stability criterion for the multi-dimensional advection diffusion equation for an explicit scheme as t 2 K x ( x) 2 + K y ( y) K z ( z) 2 + U ( x) + V ( y) + W ( z) (12)

5 3-D finite difference transport model VALIDATION OF THE NUMERICAL MODEL It is necessary to compare the model results with analytical solutions, to validate the developed numerical model. The simplified idealised test cases, for which analytical solutions are available, present a valuable means to debug the developed computer program. Two such numerical examples used by Noye and Tan (1988, 1989) involving transport of a one-dimensional and two-dimensional Gaussian pulse, respectively, and two test cases used by Lardner and Song (1991), involving two-dimensional and three-dimensional transport of a point source pollutant are used to validate the model developed in the present study. The test cases involving the transport of point source pollutant concentration by convection and diffusion are taken, since they represent an important practical case of a sudden influx of a pollutant, such as due to oil spill. The four test cases used in the present study have analytical solutions, which makes it possible to compare the results obtained in the numerical solution. MKS units are used throughout the paper Test case involving one-dimensional convection and diffusion For one-dimensional convection diffusion, Equation (1) reduces to t + U x K x 2 C = G(x, y, z, t) (13) 2 x The analytical solution to the one-dimensional advection and diffusion of a Gaussian pulse of unit height, centred at x = 1 in a region bounded by 0 x 9 as given by Noye and Tan (1988) is C(x, t) = 1 4t +1 exp (x x 0 Ut) 2 K x (4t +1) (14) where U is the velocity in the x direction, x 0 is the centre of the initial Gaussian pulse, K x is the diffusion coefficient in the x direction and t is the time coordinate. The initial condition is given by C(x, t) = 1 4t +1 exp (x 1)2 K x (15) and the boundary condition at the two ends at any time t is obtained by substituting x = 0 and x = 9, respectively, in Equation (14). The values of the various parameters used are K x = m 2 /s, U = 0.8 m/s, and the Gaussian pulse of unit height centred at x = 1. The distribution of the Gaussian pulse at t = 5 s is computed using the analytical solution and compared with the concentration distribution obtained using the numerical solution as shown in Fig. 2. The space step and time step are taken to be m and s, respectively. The Courant number (U t/ x) works out to be 0.2 and the cell Reynolds number (U x/k x ) works out as Test case involving two-dimensional convection and diffusion of a Gaussian pulse For two-dimensional convection diffusion, Equation (1) reduces to t + U x + V y K 2 C x x K 2 y 2 C = G(x, y, z, t) (16) 2 y

An analytical solution for solving the two-dimensional convection diffusion equation in a rectangular region bounded by 0 x 2 and 0 y 2 for the transport of a Gaussian pulse of unit height (Fig. 3) centred at (0.5, 0.5) is given by C(x, y, t) = 1 4t +1 exp (x 0.5 Ut)2 (y 0.5 Vt)2 K x (4t +1) K y (4t +1) (17) Fig. 3.

The parameters used in the simulation are U = V = 0.8 m/s, K x = K y = 0.01 m 2 /s. The space and time steps are taken to be m and s and hence the Courant number and the cell Reynolds number are calculated to be 0.4 and 2.0, respectively. According to the analytical solution (Fig. 4), the pulse has moved to x = 1.5 and y = 1.5 with a pulse height of at time t = 5 s, while the numerical solution predicts the pulse height as The concentration distributions computed using numerical and analytical solutions are given in Figs 4a and 4b, respectively.

8 432 S. Sankaranarayanan et al Test case involving two-dimensional convection and diffusion of a point source For an infinite region, the exact solution of the two-dimensional convection diffusion Equation (16), the concentration C(x, y, t) at a given time t for a point source pollutant placed at the centre of the domain (x 0, y 0 ) is given by C(x, y, t) = K 4 K x t 4 K y t exp (x x 0 Ut) 2 (y y 0 Vt) 2 4K x t 4K y t (19) where (x 0, y 0 ) is the location of the point source and K is a scaling factor, taken to be for this test case. The transport of an instantaneous point source pollutant, initially placed at the centre of a domain of size 10,000 10,000 m 2, by convection and diffusion is simulated using the model. Uniform horizontal velocities of U = V = 0.5 m/s, grid spacing x = y = 5000 m, time step t = 50 s and K x = K y = 10,000 m 2 /s are used. The solution for the bounded region is taken large enough so that the concentrations remain essentially zero Fig. 5.

The maximum relative error between the analytical and numerical solutions is about 10% Test case involving three-dimensional convection and diffusion in uniform flow For an infinite region, the exact solution C(x, y, z, t) at a given time t for a point source placed at the centre of the domain is given by

For applying the boundary conditions, Equations (2) and (3), the derivative of C(x, y, z, t) is evaluated as [C(x, y, z, t)] z = C x (x, t, U)C y (y, t, V)C z (z, t, W) [z 0 + w(t + t 0 ) z] 2[K z (t + t 0 )] Substituting the values of z = 0 and z = h in Equation (18), the boundary condition Equations (2) and (3) at the top and bottom surfaces are satisfied in the numerical solution. The initial condition is given by C(x, y, z, t 0 ), where if t 0 0, then the problem has a smooth initial condition. The transport of an instantaneous point source pollutant, initially placed at the centre of a domain of size 40,000 40, m 3, by convection and diffusion is simulated (24)

For a smooth initial condition, the value of t 0 is taken to be 5000 s. The solution for the bounded region is taken large enough so that the solution remains essentially zero at the boundaries for the time interval of the computation (Lardner and Song, 1991). The concentration distribution obtained after t = 18,000 s using the model developed in the present study compares well with that given by the analytical solution Equation (20) at various levels, showing good comparison as in Figs 6 8, respectively. The maximum relative error between the analytical and numerical solutions is about 13% Test case involving three-dimensional convection and diffusion in unsteady non-uniform flow The analytical solution for the transport of conservative pollutant in unsteady, nonuniform flow as given by Sommeijer and Kok (1995) is C(x, y, z, t) = exp z L z f(t) x L x r(t) 2 y L y s(t) 2 (25) To stress the local nature of the concentration, the value of is taken to be 30. r(t) = cos 2 t T p ; s(t) = sin 2 t T p and f(t) = 4t (T b + t) (26) The flow fields are given by U(x, y, z, t) = C 1 sin x L x + y L y sin z L z d(t) (27) Fig. 9.

17 3-D finite difference transport model CONCLUSIONS A three-dimensional finite difference transport model appropriate for the coastal environment is developed for the numerical solution of the three-dimensional convection diffusion equation. A higher order (third-order) upwind scheme is used for the convective terms of the transport equation, to minimise the numerical diffusion. The validity of the numerical model is verified through four test problems, for the transport of point source pollutants in uniform flow, by comparing the results obtained in the present study with those of analytical solutions. The validity of the numerical solution is also tested against analytical solutions for the case of transport of a Gaussian pulse in unsteady and nonuniform flow. However, for problems involving transport of pollutants in coastal waters, the velocity field is to be obtained a priori from the solution of a compatible hydrodynamic model developed by the authors (Shankar et al., 1996). Work is currently in progress to couple the transport model developed in the present study with the multi-level three-dimensional hydrodynamic model. REFERENCES Boris, J. B. and Book, D. L.
