Abstract: Suspended substance dispersion in a water body is simulated in the case when the spread area is considerably larger than the depth of the water body. The performance and features of a previously proposed computational technique are demonstrated by computing the dispersion of mineral suspension clouds generated in the southern Sea of Azov in the course of soil dumping associated with repair work in the port of Temryuk. The results presented were obtained primarily in test computations aimed at the validation of the computational technique.
