At the end of thisstudy, real project datas were matched with the model?s program outputs. Dilutionever increased while the effluent flow far away from the source. Since there wereport property?s difference between Kadıköy project and the real facility design datasand the models shown us almost same predictations and dilutions results that the realfacility designed more economicly thanks to alternative VP model studies. Inaddition to this, model shown us the effluent flow can return to the Marmara Seafrom surface flow of the Bosphorus.: VPLUMES, Modelling, Dilution, Deep Sea DischargeKeywords
