Abstract

A two-dimensional random walk model for the analysis of the hydrodynamic dispersion of pollutants on the sea surface is presented. The equation of the advective-diflusive transport is based on the hypotheses of Taylor's theory and the solute is assumed to be non-reactive. The advective component of the transport is due only to wind generated circulation. A numerical example has been reported based on suitable computer programs implemented for the analysis of the field of motion and dispersion phenomenon. 1. Introduction The study of the transport of pollutants in the sea is a topic of considerable interest for environmental protection and the correct use of the coasdine.From the hydrodynamic viewpoint the problem consists in the determination of the value c(x,y,z,f) that the concentration of
