b. Step 5.2:

8(0.0441m  2 / sec-1 )(190 m)
W
(0.579m/sec-1 )
W 10.8 m
This condition is amply satisfied since W equals 146 m.
Step 6 - Estimate maximum width of mixing zone. Estimate the
maximum mixing zone width as:
0.484 Qe Ce
Y-
u( C  s - Cb )d
0.484 (0.425m3 /sec-1 ) (3.5 10-3 mg/L )
Y=
0.579m/sec-1 (  2.5 - 1.0)  10-4 mg/L (  2.54m )
Y = 3.3m (10.7 ft )
Since the mixing zone is predicted to have a length of 623 ft (190 m) and a
maximum width of 10.7 ft (3.3 m), it is within the allowable limits of 750 ft
(228.6 m) from the effluent outfall.
E.5 Fasttabs Modeling System for Evaluation of
Hydrodynamic Transport
Rivers, reservoirs, and estuaries have been modeled for a number of years
using the USACE TABS numerical modeling system. TABS is a family of 2-D
numerical models that can simulate hydrodynamic, sediment, and constituent
transport processes in these water bodies. TABS has been used to simulate far-
field dispersion of instantaneous and continuous dredged material discharges.
Some independent near-field analysis is usually required. TABS can handle
complex geometries and unsteady flow conditions. Either particulate or
dissolved phases of dredged material can be modeled.
The TABS system consists of many separate programs that individually
address different aspects of the modeling process (Thomas and McAnally 1990).
These include mesh development, geometry input file generation, boundary
condition definition, hydrodynamic input file generation, job status monitoring,
and post-processing of the results.
