A combined experimental and numerical study was conducted to support the development of a new gradient maintenance technique for salt-gradient solar ponds. Two numerical models were developed and verified by laboratory experiments. The first is an axisymmetric (near-field) model which determines mixing and entrainment in the near-field of the injecting diffuser by solving the conservation equations of mass, momentum, energy, and salt. The model assumes variable properties and uses a simple turbulence model based on the mixing length hypothesis to account for the turbulence effects. A series of experimental measurements were conducted in the laboratory for the initial adjustment of the turbulence model and verification of the code. The second model is a one-dimensional far-field model which determines the change of the salt distribution in the pond gradient zone as a result of injection by coupling the near-field injection conditions to the pond geometry. This is implemented by distributing the volume fluxes obtained at the domain boundary of the near-field model, to the gradient layers of the same densities. The numerical predictions obtained by the two-region model was found to be in reasonable agreement with the experimental data.

For most of the needed studies for the design of Calais harbour enlargement works, the "Laooratoire National d'Hydraulique" chose to use numerical models. This approach includes the determination of currents around and insiae the new outer-haroour, just as the evaluation of the project sedimentologic impact and of the long-term evolution of a bank nameo "le Riaen de ia Rade", edging the access channel. Current studies were performed using four nested bidimensionnal computer models fitted on field data and supplying in eac;i point the depth-averaged velocity and the total water height. These four models are based on an implicite finite difference fractionnal step method. Besides for the very near field model the method is especially elaborated to enable' the detailed reproduction of eddies and flow separations. The sedimentological numerical study is based upon current models results : the bed-load transport is computed from the depth-averaged velocity and the water height previously determined using an empirical formula, and tne continuity equation applied to this loaa transport gives then the bed evolution. As soon as the depth variation is significant enough to react on the flow pattern, current fielos are readjusted oy a simple metnod based on flow continuity equation. This numerical model, applied to the near fielo, has given an evaluation of the sedimentological impact of the haroour enlargement project : - strong erosion in front of the new harbour due to current strengthening ; - accretion on each side of this erosion area, especially in the channel ; - bar formation at the harbour entrance.
