Special Issue: The sixth international workshop on unstructured mesh numerical modelling of coastal, shelf and ocean flows. Imperial College London, September 19-21, 2007

摘要

The advantages of unstructured meshes in the development of ocean models in resolving phenomena at a wide range of scales and in representing complex coastlines and bathymetry has led to their adoption by an increasing number of researchers in the field of ocean simulation. This volume contains 16 papers covering themes raised at the workshop held in London from 19 to 21 September 2007. It is a sign of the growing maturity of many of the unstructured mesh models that the papers detailing new numerical advances and the complex task of validating models are joined in this issue by a number of articles describing the application of unstructured mesh ocean models to the simulation of complex coastal and shelf phenomena.
