A 3D-Stereo Graphics Interface for Operational Great Lakes Forecasts
A system for real-time predictions of Great Lakes physics and transport characteristics is now being implemented. The full 3D nature of the predictions demands accurate, high speed computer...
Re-Examination of the Coriolis Effect on the Two-Dimensional Depth-Averaged Model
In the development of the two-dimensional depth-averaged hydrodynamic model equations, a previously ignored Coriolis component in the vertical direction is retained in the governing differential...
Sensitivity of Gulf of Maine Tide Model to Depth
A 2-D tide model of the Gulf of Maine failed to produce accuracies necessary for the de-tiding of Geosat satellite data. A subsequent sensitivity analysis indicated that the model was...
Flow Separation of Currents in Shallow Water
Flow separation of currents in shallow coastal areas is investigated using a boundary layer model for two-dimensional (depth-averaged) tidal flow past an elliptic headland. If the shoaling...
On Numerical Strategies of Estuarine and Coastal Modeling
Numerous numerical models of circulation and transport for estuarine and coastal waters have been developed. A variety of numerical techniques are used by these numerical models. This...
Estuarine, Shelf, and Ocean Hydrodynamic Modelling Approaches
Estuarine, shelf, and ocean hydrodynamic modelling approaches are presented in order to explore the development of a coordinated set of models to describe the complex interactions between...
Computer Simulation of Weeks Bay, Alabama
Results of a two-dimensional, depth averaged (WIFM) mathematical model for Weeks Bay, Alabama under equatorial tide conditions are presented. Comparisons of model predicted hydrodynamic...
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...
Pre- and Post-Processing Data Management Approach for Eutrophication Model of Peconic Bay, Long Island
A pragmatic data management approach for pre-processing and post-processing of large data sets from numerical models has been applied to a coupled hydrodynamic and water quality model...
Eutrophication and Nutrient Enrichment in Peconic Bay: Numerical Model of Historical Conditions of the Mid-1970s
In response to water quality and resource management issues triggered by the brown tide bloom of 1985-88 in the embayments of the Peconic estuary of Long Island, New York, a coupled hydrodynamic...
Eutrophication and Recurrent Hypoxia in the New York Bight: A Synthesis of Historical Data and a Numerical Model of the 1976 Anoxic Event
As a result of oceanographic programs conducted over the past four decades, a large historical data base is available, and has been used, to document areas of recurrent hypoxia and high...
Calibration of a Transport Model Using Halocarbons
A field study was conducted during April 1987 in which the concentrations of volatile halocarbon tracers, discharged from two existing outfalls, were measured throughout Boston Harbor...
Bay-Wide Model Studies for the Boston Ocean Outfall Siting
Oceanographic data and numerical models were used to evaluate candidate diffuser sites to discharge effluent from Boston's planned secondary treatment plant. The study showed...
Water and Sediment Quality Analyses for the New Boston Wastewater Outfall
This paper describes portions of the farfield hydrodynamic and water quality modeling conducted during preparation of the Boston Harbor Wastewater Conveyance System Supplemental Environmental...
Receiving Water Modeling for CSO Investigations in Boston Harbor
The computer models QUAL2EXP and TEA/ELA were used to model Combined Sewer Overflow (CSO) remediation alternatives in Boston Harbor and its major tributaries. The models were adapted to...
Integrating Hydrodynamic and Water Quality Models for Patuxent Estuary
A two-dimensional mass transport model has been developed to integrate a hydrodynamic model and a water quality model for the Patuxent Estuary, Maryland. In this study, a two-dimensional,...
Boundary Fitted Estuarine Water Quality Model
A two-dimensional, vertically-averaged boundary fitted coordinate pollutant transport model was developed for application to estuarine and coastal sea regions. The governing convective-diffusion...
Advection-Diffusion Calibration of Dissolved Oxygen
Modifications of J.J. Leendertse's water-quality model for improving calculations of dissolved oxygen concentrations in Jamaica Bay, New York, are discussed. Changes to the...
Contaminant Loading from Fox River to Lower Green Bay
The heavily industrialized lower reach of the Fox River, downstream of the DePere Dam, and lower Green Bay, Lake Michigan, are modeled. Hydrodynamics and contaminant transports to the...
