MODELLING COASTAL SEA PROCESSES
Proceedings of the Ocean and Atmosphere Pacific: OAP 95
Adelaide, South Australia 23 - 27 October 1995

edited by John Noye (National Tidal Facility, The Flinders University of South Australia)

This book contains updated, reviewed versions of the best papers on "Modelling Coastal Sea Processes" presented at the International Ocean and Atmosphere Pacific Conference, held in Adelaide, South Australia, on 23–27 October 1995. The articles were selected on both scientific merit and usefulness to coastal engineers, physical oceanographers and marine biologists. They cover a range of topics including the modelling of tides and storm surges (especially inundation due to surges), the analysis of modelled or recorded data to permit prediction of tide heights over tidal flats and tidal currents in the presence of coastal eddies, and the modelling of dispersion of fish larvae from spawning grounds to coastal nurseries. Computational techniques are emphasised in line with modern applications, but some analytical techniques have also been included.


Contents:

  • A 3D Numerical Model of Tides and Surges in Coastal Seas with Tidal Flats (B J Noye et al.)
  • Analysis and Prediction of Tide Heights Over Tidal Flats and Currents Involving Eddies (G D Lewis & B J Noye)
  • Recent Developments in the Theory and Modelling of Storm Surges (Y M Tang & R H J Grimshaw)
  • Prawn Larvae Advection–Diffusion Modelling in Spencer Gulf, South Australia (J B Nixon & B J Noye)
  • Modelling Currents and Dispersion in Boston Bay, South Australia, During the 1996 Tuna Disaster (B J Noye et al.)
  • River Inlets and Tidal Draw (R D Braddock et al.)
  • and other papers


Readership: Postgraduate students and scientists working in coastal engineering or physical oceanography.
