Onishi, Y. AND S. Wise. MATHEMATICAL MODEL, SERATRA, FOR SEDIMENT-CONTAMINANT TRANSPORT IN RIVERS AND ITS APPLICATION TO PESTICIDE TRANSPORT IN FOUR MILE AND WOLF CREEKS IN IOWA. U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Washington, D.C., EPA/600/3-82/045 (NTIS PB83122671), 1982.
Description:
The sediment-contaminant transport model SERATRA was used as an integral part of the Chemical Migration and Risk Assessment (CMRA) Methodology, which simulates migration and fate of a contaminant over the land surface and in receiving streams, to assess potential short- and long-term impact on aquatic biota. SERATRA, an unsteady, two-dimensional finite element model, consists of three submodels coupled to include the effects of sediment-contaminant interactions--a sediment transport submodel, a dissolved contaminant transport submodel, and a particulate contaminant transport submodel.
