Abstract: A methodology is developed to describe the effect of errors (or uncertainty) in the specification of certain drivers (bathymetry, river inflow, and wind speeds) on the circulation computed by a three-dimensional estuarine ...

Abstract: A persistent difficulty in modeling continental shelf and estuarine circulations is that associated with the correct specification of conditions on the open boundaries. This paper deals with the application of a new form ...

Abstract: In the course of modeling hydrodynamic phenomena in a limited area domain, one must specify open boundary conditions. Various forms of the Sommerfeld radiation condition have been used on the boundary of the domain, in the ...

Abstract: A comprehensive modeling study was undertaken to examine the transport and fate of pathogenic organisms in the coastal waters of Mamala Bay, the southern shore of the island of Oahu, Hawaii. Specifically, two mathematical ...

Abstract: A three‐dimensional hydrodynamic model is applied to flows in open channels. The model incorporates a second‐moment turbulence‐closure model that has demonstrated considerable skill in simulating turbulent flows in laboratory ...

Abstract: Three-dimensional simulations of estuarine circulation in the New York Harbor complex, Long Island Sound, and the New York Bight have been conducted using the Estuarine, Coastal and Ocean Model (ECOM) within the framework ...

Abstract: The near field behavior of the new Boston sewage outfall plume, as simulated by a far field circulation model of Massachusetts Bay, has been compared with similar predictions from a well-known and often-used near field ...

Abstract: A three-dimensional time-dependent hydrodynamic model of Onondaga Lake, an inland lake in central New York, emphasizing the simulation of dynamics and thermal structure has been developed. The model is based on the ECOM ...

Abstract: The proper timing, duration, and direction of wind events interacting with the geometry of an estuarine system can control the intensity of stratification. A three-dimensional, time-dependent hydrodynamic model was used ...

Abstract: The essentials of hydrodynamic model application techniques and necessary supporting data are given for the situation of a partially stratified water body. The presentation is aimed at improving numerical predictions of ...
