“…5, have been followed by recent applications. 6 Finite element (FE) procedure usually demands large computational facilities due to the elevated number of nodes and elements necessary to model accurately a real situation with irregular geometry. This method is currently the most common numerical procedure for treating pollutant dispersion.…”

Two mathematical models are used to simulate pollution in the Bay ofSantander. The first is the hydrodynamic model that provides the velocity field and height of the water. The second gives the pollutant concentration field as a resultant. Both models a re formulated in two-dimensional equations. Linear triangular finite elements are used in the Galerkin procedure for spatial discretization. A finite difference scheme is used for the time integration. At each time step the calculated results of the first model are input to the second model as field data. The efficiency and accuracy of the models are tested by their application to a simple illustrative example. Finally a case study in simulation of pollution evolution in the Bay of Santander is presented.
