The passive tracer is also imposed in the model for simulation and discussion for the long-term model (30-day) in the flushing rate and residence time of Tapong-Bay. The results show that tides, wind effects, and canal drainages (or not) will affect the rate of flushing. The residence time of the Tapong-Bay is about 29.6 days which is the best flushing rate case as the wind stresses and canal discharges are concurrently imposed in summer; the longest residence time reaches to 52.4 days that is obtained in no wind and no discharge situations in winter. The value difference between the two cases in flushing rate is almost double.
