Review and Evaluation of Hydrodynamic Modeling for the Lower St. Johns River Estuary
Abstract
The St. Johns River Water Management District and the U.S. Army Engineer District, Jacksonville, desire to quantify the hydrodynamic, sediment transport, and water quality processes of the Lower St. Johns River Estuary (LSJRE). To this end, a comprehensive numerical model development program is planned. In support of this effort, this report reviews the basic equations of estuarine hydrodynamics. Major hydrodynamic modeling technologies are compared and contrasted. The data requirements for application of a hydrodynamic model to the LSJRE are outlined. An approach for developing a system of models and monitoring programs for the LSJRE is recommended. Computer hardware and software issues that will affect the productivity of the modeling system are discussed. Estuarine modeling, Hydrodynamic modeling, Lower St. Johns River Estuary.
