Details of the barotropic hydrodynamic model, ADCIRC-2DDI, including formulation of the governing equations and their numerical solution are presented. Validation of ADCIRC-2DDI predicted tidal heights and currents in the North Sea/English channel is undertaken in the context of the Tidal Flow Forum as outlined by Werner and Lynch (1988). Sensitivity studies examine the effects of nonlinear mechanisms, forms of the tidal forcing, and the behavior of various model parameters on the computed tidal response. Mesh resolution issues are also investigated in the context of tidal dynamics. Throughout this report, model experiments and the discussion of results are focused on improving understanding of the ADCIRC-2DDI hydrodynamic model and its application to coastal tide prediction.

The knowledge of the characteristics of the fluids and their ability to transport substances and physical properties is relevant for us. However, the quantification of the movements of fluids is a complex task, and when considering natural flows, occurring in large scales (rivers, lakes, oceans), this complexity is evidenced. This book presents conclusions about different aspects of flows in natural water bodies, such as the evolution of plumes, the transport of sediments, air-water mixtures, among others. It contains thirteen chapters, organized in four sections: Tidal and Wave Dynamics: Rivers, Lakes and Reservoirs, Tidal and Wave Dynamics: Seas and Oceans, Tidal and Wave Dynamics: Estuaries and Bays, and Multiphase Phenomena: Air-Water Flows and Sediments. The chapters present conceptual arguments, experimental and numerical results, showing practical applications of the methods and tools of Hydrodynamics.

These books are divided into two volumes. The first focuses on estuarine physics and physical processes and interpretations. I have, for the most parts, intentionally downplayed engineering applications to estuaries. It is my bias that a deeper understanding is accomplished with a physical approach, whereas an engineering approach is largely geared toward finding a solution to a problem. Of course, it is not always easy to make this distinction. The second volume is a presentation of physical case studies of several important estuaries, spanning the major geomorphic types. I believe that it can be very useful to all areas of the world. I have consciously strived to be more international to scope in selection of both authors and estuarine case studies.

This study focuses on modeling the 2D, depth-averaged circulation of Bay St. Louis in the northeastern Gulf of Mexico that is driven by waves and tides using a coupled hydrodynamic-wave model. The wave-tide coupled circulation within the inlet is examined during the flood, slack, and ebb phases of the tidal cycle. The wave height field, current velocity and sea surface elevation are analyzed to determine the effects of wave-current interaction. The influence of the various forcings on bay/inlet circulation is further investigated by the introduction of Lagrangian tracers. Lagrangian tracers are a reasonable indicator of how circulation patterns affect the motion of sediment particles or passive biological organisms such as fish larvae. Wave-current interaction is simulated by iteratively coupling the depth-integrated ADCIRC-2DDI hydrodynamic model to the phase-averaged spectral wave model SWAN. ADCIRC-2DDI is a fully developed, 2-dimensional, finite element, barotropic hydrodynamic model capable of including wind, wave, and tidal forcing as well as river flux into the domain. The wave-hydrodynamic model coupling i captured through the following approach. First, radiation stress gradients, determined from the SWAN wave field, serve as surface stress forcin in ADCIRC. Elevation and currents com uted from ADCIRC are subse uentl in ut into the SWAN model.
