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

Abstract

The long-term goal of our project is to develop and enhance research and educational capabilities in the area of coastal engineering and science at Louisiana State University (LSU) while simultaneously supporting the Navy's research goals in the area of Coastal Geosciences. The focus of the present work is to develop a new modeling framework for simulations of coastal processes in deltaic environments using advanced numerical methods and high performance computing technology. In particular, the utilization of adaptive numerical methods such as the spectral element method on modern computer platforms with thousands of multi-core processors will enable coastal modelers to simulate complex physical processes with improved accuracy and efficiency.
