✦ Synopsis

A two-dimensional finite difference alternating direction implicit (ADI) scheme numerical model to solve the vertically integrated form of the non-linear hydrodynamics equations and convectiondiffusion equation has been developed for the description of tide flow and pollutant transport in Taipong Bay, China. Computer software for the modelling is well designed to reduce storage and costs of computation. The computed results agree quite well with the observations available. The tidal level, tidal current, residual current and organic pollution in the bay are discussed based on the computed results and observed data. Applications for the environmental problems along the coast of the bay are also mentioned briefly.
