Nowadays, Seawater intake is a part of refineries and power plants facilities cooling system and it is considered as one of the most suitable methods especially for refineries and power plantsbuilt in vicinity of the seas. In hydraulic and hydrodynamic studies of these intake outfall systems, environmental considerations and recirculation criteria are two important factors which should have been satisfied. Outlet type, outlet point location and its location relative to intake location should have been studied in design of intake outfall systems [1&2]
