Abstract: Attempts to predict the impact on a tidal regime of large engineering structures are generally based on the use of a numerical model which is calibrated to reproduce the natural tidal regime and then rerun with the structures ...

Abstract: Two dimensional, nonlinear numerical models are used to study the residual barotropic circulation generated by tides and steady winds in the Bay of Fundy and Gulf of Maine. The first a multi-grid model, is used to examine ...

Abstract: A spherical-polar 3D, harmonic-in-time, linear finite-element ocean circulation model that allows for spatially arbitrary forcing by winds, density field, and imposed free-surface elevation along open boundaries is presented. ...

Abstract: The response of the Gulf of Maine region to steady, spatially uniform wind stress is examined using a linearized numerical model, with the influence of the strong tidal currents in the region included in the bottom stress ...
