XIX International Conference
June 17-21, 2012
at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign
Clint Dawson, University of Texas at Austin
Casey Dietrich, University of Texas at Austin
This session is focused on innovative numerical methods for modeling hydrodynamic processes in the coastal ocean. These processes include water circulation, air-sea coupling, waves and wave-breaking, density-driven flows, saltwater intrusion, contaminant transport, and sediment erosion/deposition. Numerical methods which accurately model coupled flow and transport at multiple scales are required. Applications of these models include coastal inundation, coastal geomorphology, oil spills, wetland ecology, studying coastal protection systems, and freshwater/saltwater interaction. This session encourages submissions on numerical algorithms, model coupling, large-scale parallel implementation and applications of coastal ocean models.
