Abstract

Numerical modelling provides additional information useful for implementation of the sustainable model for environmental-friendly development of the port networks. This chapter presents an improved modelling approach using better interconnections between the components of the system. The input data has been produced by the usage of an operational hydrodynamic model for the areas in the vicinity of ports, which makes the system applicable in case of extreme situations. This provides the decision makers with examples of worst-case scenarios of pollution drifts during extreme cases like combinations of strong winds, high waves and storm surges.
