Abstract: In this study, in order to better understand the mechanisms affecting sediment resuspension, extensive data sets were collected in September and October of 2002 including wind velocity, wave, current velocity, water ...

Abstract: There are increasing demands for reliable engineering tools for sediment modeling and water resources management. The Lake Okeechobee environmental model (LOEM), which was calibrated and verified to simulate sediment ...

Abstract: This paper describes the validation and application of a hydrodynamic and sediment transport submodel of the Lake Okeechobee environment model (LOEM). This model simulates the sediment resuspension and transport due to ...

Abstract: Few studies have been published on three-dimensional (3D) hydrodynamic and water quality modeling of a wetland with extensive data sets for model calibration and verification. Wetland plants include submerged aquatic ...

Abstract: This research demonstrates that horizontal density gradients approximated by salinity gradient represent an additional forcing term in the equations of motion, which have a significant effect in certain portions of a ...

Abstract: A time-dependent three-dimensional hydrodynamic model of Lake Okeechobee was validated and used to understand the physical processes associated with vertical mixing in the lake. The lake has relatively uniform water depths ...

Abstract: A 3D hydrodynamic and heat transport model was developed for Lake Okeechobee. Continuity, momentum, and temperature transport equations were solved. Dynamically coupled transport equations for turbulent kinetic energy and ...

Abstract: The South Florida Water Management District has developed a comprehensive management strategy to assess eutrophication in Lake Okeechobee. Key components of this strategy are research, monitoring, and modeling of the lake. ...
