Investigation of Dynamical Processes Influencing Sediment Transport and Morphological Change in Skagit Bay using an Unstructured Grid Coastal Ocean Model

摘要

A high resoluton ocena model is configured to resolve the hydrodynamic processes in Skagit Bay, Washington. Model skill is evaluated by comparison with tidal harmonics. A sequence of meshes is employed to establish grid independence of the resulting solution. Resolution of the flooding/drying process is evaluated by comparison with a wet/dry front resolving scheme.
