Development of a Three-Dimensional Hydrodynamic Model of Chesapeake Bay
A time-varying 3D numerical model of Chesapeake Bay has been developed to provide flow fields and vertical eddy diffusivities to a 3D water quality model of the bay. The water surface,...
Interfacing Three-Dimensional Hydrodynamic and Water Quality Models of Chesapeake Bay
A methodology is presented for interfacing a three-dimensional, time-varying, intratidal hydrodynamic model with an intertidal water quality model of Chesapeake Bay. First-order Lagrangian...
Calibrating the Chesapeake Bay Water Quality Model
A eutrophication model comprised of twenty-two state variables including three algal groups and multiple species of carbon, nitrogen, phosphorus, and silica is described. Equations governing...
Modeling Residual Chlorine in the Potomac Estuary
This paper presents the development and application of a two-dimensional finite element hydrodynamic and water quality model, termed Neleus, to assess chlorinated discharges to the Potomac...
Modeling Circulation in Los Angeles-Long Beach Harbors
A three-dimensional hydrodynamic model was applied to Los Angeles-Long Beach Harbors to determine tide- and wind-induced circulation. The model was calibrated and verified successfully...
Two-dimensional Modelling of the Bristol Channel, UK
A two-dimensional depth-averaged numerical hydrodynamic model of the Bristol Channel and Severn Estuary has been developed to investigate the effects on water quality of existing and new...
