Development of an Integrated Modeling Framework for Simulations of Coastal Processes in Deltaic Environments Using High-Performance Computing

Abstract

The specific objectives of this project are to: * Develop the capability of modeling coastal circulation and nearshore surface waves in deltaic sedimentary and hydrodynamic environments in an integrated modeling framework by extending the Boussinesq theory for nearshore hydrodynamics to muddy coasts and non-hydrostatic three-dimensional (3D) flow regimes with stratifications. * Complement the Office of Naval Research recent research initiatives on Tidal Flats and Wave-Mud Interactions by integrating the new modeling system with the field data collected in those programs. * Simulate large-scale, long-term problems in the deltaic environment by integrating the application-oriented modeling system with massive-processor computing facilities and technologies available at LSU and in Louisiana. * Quantify the generation, transport and dissipation of potential vorticity in the surf and swash zones, as well as the momentum exchange between the two dynamical regions.
