Abstract
The disposal of wastes into bodies of water is probably as old as man himself. In recent years, the coastal communities in the world have been disposing of their sewage in the ocean at ever-increasing rates. Many countries also deposit radioactive wastes at sea. The physical transport and dispersion of these wastes, i.e., their concentration in time and space after deposition, is an important consideration in any waste disposal problem. Thus, the report of the turbulent diffusion of fluid in the ocean is of immense practical significance and deserving of serious consideration, as an important problem in the general field of turbulent diffusion, by engineers and scientists alike.
