Abstract:
A 3D tidal and water quality numerical model is established in Changxing Island area, based on unstructured MIKE 3D model. According to the seawater quality requirements of the marine functional zoning and general analysis on offshore discharge, the area of pollutant mixing zone and the concentration response coefficient are calculated. Besides, the marine environmental capacity is calculated in both short and long term. Results reveals that the maximum area of pollutant mixing zone is 0.046 5 km
2 around Majiazui sewage outfall based on the water quality in 2012. The water environmental capacity of COD, DIN, active phosphate and oil are 812.0 t/a, 143.7 t/a, 25.6 t/a and 59.7 t/a, respectively.
