RESUMO

Aquatics ecossistems around large towns are always exposed waste domestic and industrial and solid residues. Mathematical models are widely used to understand flow patterns and transport of mass in these ecosystems. In this work a model was developed on unstructured two-dimensional complex dynamic model for shallow lakes. The model was divided in two modules: (a) hydrodynamic module, describing quantitative flows and water level; (b) a mass transport module. The hydrodynamic module solves Saint Venant equations to quantify water circulation in a water body. Futhermore, the hydrodynamic module was improved to semiimplicit finite volume scheme. The mass transport module represents transport of a conservative scalar under the physical processes influence. Two schemes were used and compared to the transport equation numerical solution : a central difference scheme and a flux limiter scheme. The model was applied in the circular lake and river Guaíba. The hydrodynamic module was validated by evaluating tests of volume conservation made comparing with results of the model IPH-ECO and analytical solution. It proved to be more conservative than the model IPH-ECO in all scenarios simulated in the circular lake. The hydrodynamic and transport solution in river Guaíba study case represented bends, grooves, and channels widening and narrowing. In the transport simulation, the flux limiter scheme was more efficient than central differences scheme. Futhermore, mass conservation tests for different scenarios in Guaíba indicated minor errors in both schemes when compared with ecosystem magnitude.
