Modeling Combined Stresses on Aquatic Ecosystems
A mechanistic ecosystem response model is being developed by incorporating exposure/response relationships for selected natural and anthropogenic stresses into an existing hydrodynamic...
Numerical Simulation of Hydraulic Jump
Hydraulic jump is numerically simulated by solving the laterally-averaged governing equations. The governing equations are derived for two-dimensional flow by laterally averaging the time...
Transport Modeling of the Coastal Waters of Oahu, Hawaii
A hydrodynamic model of the coastal waters around the island of Oahu, Hawaii has been constructed to provide quantitative information on the movements and mixing of water that are to be...
