Ecological modeling and Lagrangian approach
A mathematical model is proposed for a quantitative estimation of the damage to biological resources resulting from a pollutant discharge into an aqueous environment. On the basis of the Lagrangian description of fluid motion a set of hydrophysical parameters is introduced with help of which hydrobiologists can estimate the damage. The computation of parameters introduced is illustrated by the example of a model problem of a pollutant spreading in a canal. For the discretization of the problem a...
