PDFAbstract: This paper addresses the problem of water quality and water pollution in river-type systems. A bibliographic study on determination of spatial-temporal evolution of pollutants on Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) basis, particularly using Finite Element Method (FEM), was done. A case study on the determination of the concentration field of pollutants in 4 sectors of the Prut River is presented.
Keywords: water quality, modeling, Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulation, Finite Element Method (FEM), river, transport and dispersion of pollutants
