Saline intrusion into sewage outfalls will greatly decrease the efficiency of the structures. The numerical model for this flow has been limited to one- and two-dimensional ones. In this article, a three-dimensional numerical model for saline intrusion and purging in sewage outfalls was developed. The flow was modeled in three dimensions under turbulent conditions with the RNG k ?ε turbulence model. The numerical results provided quantitative evidence of the fundamental flow mechanisms that took place during saline intrusion and purging. The comparisons of the results with that of two-dimensional model and that of experiments indicate that the three-dimensional numerical model developed in this article is more effective in predicting the internal flow in outfalls.
