TL;DR: The 6th International Conference on Estuarine and Coastal Modeling (ICEM) as discussed by the authors was held in New Orleans, Louisiana, from 3-5 November 1999 to 7-8 November 1999.
Abstract: This volume contains the Proceedings of the 6th International Conference on Estuarine and Coastal Modeling held in New Orleans, Louisiana, November 3-5, 1999. The conference included oral and poster sessions describing model development, testing, application, skill assessment, interpretation, and visualization of results. Four special sessions were held in conjunction with the American Meteorology Society, Committee on Meteorology and Oceanography of the Coastal Zone on the development and operation of coastal forecast systems. There were two poster sessions featuring model application and demonstration of model visualization and systems integration. Each paper in this publication was presented orally or at a poster session at the conference and was peer reviewed prior to publication. The paper authors represent a well balanced mix of professionals in the field from private industry, government, and academic institutions both from the US and abroad.

TL;DR: This model explicitly addresses the effects of the dispersed phase viscosity, resulting from dispersant application and constrains the maximum stable droplet size based on Rayleigh-Taylor instability that is invoked for a release from a large aperture.

TL;DR: In this paper, a two-dimensional vertically averaged circulation model using boundary-fitted coordinates was developed for predicting sea level and currants in estuarine and shelf waters using a set of coupled quasi-linear elliptic transformation equations to map the physical domain to a corresponding transformed plane such that all boundaries are coincident with coordinate lines and the transformed mesh is rectangular.
Abstract: A two-dimensional vertically averaged circulation model using boundary-fitted coordinates has been developed for predicting sea level and currants in estuarine and shelf waters. The basic idea of the approach is to use a set of coupled quasi-linear elliptic transformation equations to map the physical domain to a corresponding transformed plane such that all boundaries are coincident with coordinate lines and the transformed mesh is rectangular. The hydrodynamic equations are then solved by a multi-operation finite difference technique in the rectangular mesh transformed grid. Comparisons of the circulation model predictions for tidally forced flows in a wedge section with both flat and quadratic bottom topography, and in a flat channel with exponential variation in width, were in excellent agreement with corresponding analytic solutions. Simulation of steady-state wind-induced setup in a closed basin formed using elliptic cylindrical coordinates also was in excellent agreement with the analytic ...

TL;DR: Simulations with the new algorithm show that entrainment rates increase more rapidly with wind speed than previously predicted based on the existing Delvigne and Sweeney's (1988) model, and a quasi-stable droplet size distribution is developed in the near surface water.

TL;DR: The DELFT3D-FLOW module as discussed by the authors is a 3D flow solver for modeling sediment transport patterns in the water column of the DELFT-3D flow model, which is used to model both suspended and bedload transport of noncohesive sediment.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors describe the theory, methodology, and verification of the ADCIRC (ADvanced CIRCulation) finite element numerical models, which are used to simulate hydrodynamic circulation along shelves, coasts, and within estuaries.
Abstract: : This report describes the theory, methodology, and verification of the ADCIRC (ADvanced CIRCulation) finite element numerical models. ADCIRC-2DDI is a two-dimensional, depth-integrated hydrodynamic model. ADCIRC-3DL is a three-dimensional model that couples the external mode solution generated by ADCIRC2DDI to a locally one-dimensional internal mode solution. The numerical internal mode solution can be obtained using either velocity or stress as the dependent variable. ADCIRC has been developed to simulate hydrodynamic circulation along shelves, coasts, and within estuaries. To allow long numerical simulations (on the order of a year) over very large computational domains (for example, the entire east coast of the United States), ADCIRC has been designed to have high computational efficiency and has been tested extensively for both hydrodynamic accuracy and numerical stability. The results of these tests are included in this report.
