Abstract
The 3-dimension hydrodynamical Hamburg Shelf Ocean Model (HAMSOM) is used to study the dispersal of riverine pollutants in the Malacca Strait. Surface currents dominantly flow northward, i.e. from south eastern Java Sea to the Malacca Strait. The model simulations indicate particles discharged by the Siak River could reach the northern part of Bengkalis Strait within 20 days.
