DELFT3D-Modelling of Hydrodynamic and Water Quality Processes in San Diego Bight

Abstract

The long-term goal of this effort is to demonstrate the applicability of the Delft3D hydrodynamic/morphodynamic software system to the case of the hydrodynamics and contaminants dispersal and advection in the San Diego Bight. Delft3D has until now been applied extensively to strongly astronomical, wind and wave-forced (shelf sea and nearshore) conditions but not to the weakly-forced conditions which occur off the California coast. This is of interest to the Navy because of naval operations and the presence of a Navy SEAL training ground just north of the Tijuana River outlet.
