The IAHR Webinar on Modeling Effluent Mixing and Transport Using Machine Learning Methods, organized by the IAHR/IWA Joint Committee on Outfall Systems, was held on Friday, June 28, 2024. This webinar provided an insightful exploration into the complexities of effluent mixing and transport processes. Highlighting the challenges posed by the intricate mechanisms and three-dimensional variability, the webinar underscored the limitations of traditional 3D computational fluid dynamics (CFD) models due to their computational intensity and expertise requirements. In contrast, the session showcased the promising potential of machine learning (ML) techniques as a powerful and accessible alternative for predicting mixing problems.
