Initial dilution of pollutant that emerges from submarine orifice into a stratified sea
Prof. dr. Vlado Malačič from Marine Biological Station Piran of the National Institute of Biology has been involved in research of the dilution of fecal contaminated meteoric water from municipal discharges into the sea for more than 20 years. In this regard, several reports have been written, as well as articles in reputable international journals. Prof. dr. Malačič also developed a computer program that calculates such dilution.
You can get the source code of the program in Matlab, the data required for it, and the reports and articles related to dilution at the following link.
