Abstract
A generalized statistical model is proposed to determine the probability density function of the concentration history measured at a fixed point in the wake of a continuous point source in coastal currents. An application of the model using the experimental data indicates that the log-normal distribution is adequate for many practical problems. Some general statistical characteristics of the concentration field are computed from the model.Keywords
