Dynamic Modelling of Heavy Metals Transport and Transformations in Somer River

Task:
Dynamic modeling of heavy metals transport and transformations in Someş River.
Objectives:
- Carrying out a literature study regarding pollution in Someş
- Carrying out a literature study on heavy metals, heavy metals pollution and heavy metals transport and transformations in running waters
- Carrying out a literature study on heavy metals transport modeling
- Building and verifying a software for dynamic modeling of heavy metals transport and transformations in Someş River

Structurally the research has been organized in the following steps:
o Literature study on heavy metals transport in running waters. This study has been carried out to determine the existant theoretical models in order to designate the optimum modeling method of the heavy metals transport in Someş.
o Pollution study on Someş. Its purpose is to offer information for configuring the models, but also experimental data for their verification. This information serves to determine the most important pollution agents for Someş, the proper models for simulating the heavy metals transport in Someş, etc.
o Modeling. After establishing the available data and the data that the models should provide, considering also the types of existing models, an evaluation to determine the adecvate models has been carried out. The modeling parameters and variables have been established and in the end the models have been built and ran.
o Model verification. For this, information provided by the AR have been utilised, as well as commercial simulation software for polutant transport in rivers. At first a screening of the information held and an analysis of the commercial sotfware have been carried out, in order for these to be suitable for the verification process. In the verification process only one software has been utilised, this being considered the optimum one for this.
