Efficient Non-Hydrostatic Modeling of Rotational, Turbulent, Dispersive, and Variable-Density Flows in the Vicinity of River Mouths and Inlets: Development and Field Support.

摘要

The long-range goal of this project is to develop a physics framework, and an associated numerical tool, which provides relatively rapid, phase-resolving predictions of wavy environments in the presence of strong currents and vertical stratification. The benefit of this approach, as contrasted with existing models, is that here we are able to more completely represent the nonlinear wave field, without using coarse statistical approximations, and can include the non-hydrostatic physics introduced by these nearshore wind waves.
