Abstract: A three-dimensional hydrodynamic model of the Irish Sea that resolves the bottom boundary layer, including the logarithmic layer, is developed. A finite-difference grid is employed in the horizontal, with the current profile ...

Abstract: The solution of the fully nonlinear three-dimensional hydrodynamic equations in polar coordinates, for tides, is developed using a finite-difference grid in the horizontal and the Galerkin method in the vertical. Using ...

Abstract: This paper presents a very brief overview of the development of a three-dimensional hydrodynamic model involving a flow-dependent eddy viscosity and including enhancements of bottom friction due to wave-current interaction ...

Abstract: A high-resolution (0.5? north-south by 1.0? west-east, approximately a 1-km grid) hydrodynamic tidal model of the eastern Irish Sea is used to examine the sensitivity of M2 tidal currents to changes in open boundary data ...

Abstract: M2 tidal elevations and currents have been computed using a three-dimensional hydrodynamic numerical model of the northwest European shelf. These have been compared with observational data from tide gages and current meter ...

Abstract: Although the problem of predicting storm surge elevations has received significant attention, the simulation of currents has suffered because of lack of current observations during surges. Current measurements made during ...

Abstract: The influence of katabatic winds on the Antarctic coastal waters is examined by using simple models of the ocean and atmosphere. A katabatic flow model incorporating Coriolis dynamics is solved analytically and another ...
