Saline intrusion into marine sewage outfalls will greatly decrease the efficiency of sewage disposal. In order to investigate the mechanisms of this flow, in this paper, a three-dimensional numerical model based on FVM (Finite Volume Method) is established. The RNG k-ε model is selected for turbulence modeling. The time-averaged volume fraction equations are introduced to simulate the stratification and interfacial exchange of sewage and seawater in outfalls. Validity of the established three-dimensional numerical model is evaluated by comparisons of numerical results with experimental data. With this three-dimensional numerical model, the internal flow characteristics in outfalls for different sewage discharges are simulated. The results indicate that for a low sewage discharge, saline circulates in the outfall due to intrusion and both the inflowing momentum and the interfacial turbulent mixing are important mechanisms to extrude the saline. For a high sewage discharge, saline intrusion could be avoided. The inflow momentum is the main mechanism to extrude the saline and the interfacial turbulent mixing is not important relatively. Even at a high sewage discharge, the saline wedge would be retained in the main outfall pipe after the risers are purged. It takes a long time for this saline wedge to be extruded by interfacial turbulent mixing.
