In order to deal with environmental problems arising in open surfaces, it is usually essential to understand the dynamics of the flow, to a degree that varies depending on the proposed applications. One of the most suitable tools for these sorts of phenomena is mathematical modeling. Point pollution in the rivers leads to the use of digital simulation tools to accurately determine concentration fields in accordance to place and time.

The present work retraces the development of a two-dimensional model of plan of flow and transport of pollutants. Within this framework, it was attempted to gain a comprehensive view of the physical phenomena in question and their usual formalization as well as the state-of-the-art in applied numerical analysis in free surface hydraulics. The methodology used rests on a system of equations composed of mass-conservation equations for both liquid phases (water) and gaseous (area).
