Modeling Three-Dimensional Circulation and Sediment Transport in Lakes and Estuaries
The transport of fine sediments due to currents and wind waves in estuaries and lakes have been studied by means of field experiments, laboratory experiments, and a comprehensive three-dimensional...
Passive Dispersive Transport Modelling: Comparison with Experimental Rhodamine Data in the Elbe Estuary, Germany
Aiming at modelling of the complex water mass, suspended matter and pollutant transport in a tidal estuary, the ability of simulating the transport of passive, conservative tracers is...
Modeling the Pathways of Nonconservative Substances in Estuaries
ELAmet is a model for nonconservative chemical transport which solves the advection/dispersion/transformation equation using a modification of Eulerian-Lagrangian methods. In this paper...
Estuarine Environmental Impact Assessment Using a Three-Dimensional Circulation and Transport Model
Two case studies of estuarine environmental impact assessment using a recently developed three-dimensional circulation and transport model are presented following a brief overview of the...
The Importance of Density Driven Circulation in Well Mixed Estuaries: The Tampa Bay Experience
This paper addresses the importance of the effects of baroclinicity in subtidal dynamics of a well mixed estuary, Tampa Bay. The analysis is based upon numerical simulations using a three-dimensional,...
Control of Contaminant Transport in Estuaries
This paper describes the development of a computational procedure for the adaptive control of hazardous releases in a vertically-mixed estuary. In particular, the control strategy is aimed...
Water Quality Modelling: Prediction of the Transport of Water Constituents in the Weser Estuary (Germany)
Water quality monitoring of the Weser estuary is carried out in conjunction with numerical modelling of the transport processes. For analytical and prognostical studies, and especially...
Two-Dimensional Circulation Modeling of the Pamlico River Estuary, North Carolina
A two dimensional, vertically averaged, unsteady flow model was applied to a 50- kilometer reach of the Pamlico River estuary, North Carolina. The model computational grid, which consists...
Evaluation of Modelling Parameters for Simulation of Estuarial Systems
Frequently, the purpose of flow simulation in estuaries and complex river systems is to develop circulation patterns for later use. In particular flow and stage time histories are required...
Delaware Estuary Nonpoint Source Control Program
Preparation of the Delaware Estuary Management Plan, sponsored by the EPA and the three states of New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Delaware, is part of the national estuaries program. As part...
Estuarine and Coastal Modeling
This is the proceedings of the second ASCE specialty conference on Estuarine and Coastal Modeling devoted to the rapidly evolving field of marine environmental modeling. The primary focus...
Water Supply Impact Analysis of Proposed Water Quality Control Plan for Salinity for San Francisco Bay and Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta Estuary
This paper presents the procedures and techniques employed as part of the Bay-Delta proceedings to evaluate the water supply impacts of various proposed flow and water quality objectives...
The Engineering of Mathematical Models
This paper presents the history of the development of a mathematical estuary hydraulic and an ecology based water quality model, and the problems encountered in transferring use to the...
Field Measurement of Surface Flows in Shallow Estuaries
This paper summarizes our first-year results of an ongoing multi-discipline project, which examines the physical processes of wetlands erosion and loss in coastal Louisiana. Our task is...
Numerical Modeling of Pollutant Transport in Estuaries
A robust numerical solution to the pollutant transport phenomenon in an estuary is presented. The fractional step algorithm is employed to split the physical process into convection step...
Citizen Participation in Regional Planning Efforts
During the past 4 decades the formal role of citizens has become increasingly more apparent under changing legislative mandates. This paper examines citizen participation in developing...
Regional Monitoring in Southern California
Increasing concern about larger-scale, longer-term, and cumulative environmental effects has outstripped the ability of traditional point-source monitoring programs to provide useful information....
Case Study: Management and Development Along the East China Sea, China
Situated in the central part of the West Pacific rim, the East China Sea is the most important one of the four China Seas. About 1/3 of the coastline, 2/5 of the estuaries and 1/2 of the...
Borderline Estuaries and Interstate Management Programs
Estuaries bordered by more than one state authority often suffer from contrasting and/or conflicting management practices along the shores of a continuous body of water. Management strategies...
The Construction of the Shanghai Port and Its Sea-Entering Channel
The Shanghai Port, the biggest port in China, has not enough passing capacity. In order to solve this problem, some new ports must be built. According to sedimentation, fluvial processes...
