Book Synopsis Wind Driven Ocean Modeling and Ocean Model Development by : Alan J. Wallcraft
Download or read book Wind Driven Ocean Modeling and Ocean Model Development written by Alan J. Wallcraft. This book was released on 1985. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Numerical simulations were performed with a 0.2 deg, two layer, free surface, primitive equation, ocean circulation model of the Gulf of Mexico with a realistic bottom topography and coastline. As in previous simulations, with idealized bottom topography and coastline, realistic Loop Current behavior could be obtained without wind forcing and with constant inflow through the Yucatan Straits. However, simulations with both wind and port forcing showed significantly more variation than those with port forcing alone. A similiar two layer model was set up for a North Atlantic region, from 20N, 82W to 48N, 30W, on a 0.25 by 0.2 deg grid. A 'Black Box' multigrid package was prepared for solving finite difference Helmholtz's equations with staggered grid Neumann boundary conditions in nonrectangular regions. In semi-implicit free surface primitive equation ocean models, it is competitive with other powerful iterative methods but slower than the direct Capacitance Matrix Technique. Several wind stress data sets were prepared for use in ocean models, based on global analysis products from FNOC and NMC, regional analysis products from FNOC, and ship observations. These data sets have been used to drive ocean circulation model of the World Ocean, the Indian Ocean, the North Atlantic, and the Western Mediterranean Sea. Keywords: Loop Current; Helmholtz solver; Multigrid method; Multilinear regression; and Wind stresses.

Book Synopsis Turbulence In Coastal And Civil Engineering by : B Mutlu Sumer
Download or read book Turbulence In Coastal And Civil Engineering written by B Mutlu Sumer. This book was released on 2020-03-23. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book discusses the subject of turbulence encountered in coastal and civil engineering.The primary aim of the book is to describe turbulence processes including transition to turbulence; mean and fluctuating flows in channels/pipes, and in currents; wave boundary layers (including boundary layers under solitary waves); streaming processes in wave boundary layers; turbulence processes in breaking waves including breaking solitary waves; turbulence processes such as bursting process and their implications for sediment transport; flow resistance in steady and wave boundary layers; and turbulent diffusion and dispersion processes in the coastal and river environment, including sediment transport due to diffusion/dispersion.Both phenomenological and statistical theories are described in great detail. Turbulence modelling is also described, and several examples for modelling of turbulence in steady flow and wave boundary layers are presented.The book ends with a chapter containing hands-on exercises on a wide variety of turbulent flows including experimental study of turbulence in an open-channel flow, using Laser Doppler Anemometry; Statistical, correlation and spectral analysis of turbulent air jet flow; Turbulence modelling of wave boundary layer flows; and numerical modelling of dispersion in a turbulent boundary layer, a set of exercises used by the authors in their Masters classes over many years.Although the book is essentially intended for professionals and researchers in the area of Coastal and Civil Engineering, and as a text book for graduate/post graduate students, the contents of the book will, however, additionally provide sufficient background in the study of turbulent flows relevant to many other disciplines, such as Wind Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, and Environmental Engineering.
