Three Dimensional Modelling of Estuarine Sediment Transport
This paper describes the sediment transport module in the three-dimensional finite element model TELEMAC-3D which uses the operator splitting technique to solve the shallow water and transport...
Comparison of 2D and 3D Models for Computing Shallow Water Tides in a Friction-Dominated Tidal Embayment
The friction related overtide generating mechanisms in 2D and 3D models are compared by investigating shallow water tides in the Bight of Abaco. The 2D and 3D forms of the circulation...
Modeling of Deep Water Outfall Plumes in the East Australian Coastal Ocean
The paper reports on the modeling study of deep water outfall plumes in the east Australian coastal ocean. The primary aims of the modeling were to provide estimates of plume condition...
Dredging Impacts on Delaware Estuary Tides
This study summarizes historic dredging activities and historic tidal trends in the Delaware Estuary. Since 1910, large-scale dredging and maintenance projects in the Delaware Estuary...
Simulated Circulation and Transport in Adjacent Wind-Driven Estuaries in North Carolina
The Pamlico and Neuse River estuaries, in North Carolina, display similar physical characteristics because of their proximity and physiographic setting. Yet, because of channel configuration...
A Numerical Study of Hydraulic Jump and Mixing in a Stratified Channel With a Sill
An x-z plane two dimensional primitive equation model is used to study sill effects in a narrow channel. The aim is to examine the generation of internal bores/waves, hydraulic jumps and...
A New LAX-WENDROFF Algorithm to Solve the Bed Continuity Equation With Slope Effect
The numerical simulation of mobile bed evolutions of seas, estuaries and rivers requires a morphological model, including the effects of waves, currents and sediment transport, as well...
