Wave and Circulation Prediction on Unstructured Grids

Abstract

The long term goal of this research is to significantly advance computational models for multi-scale flow physics in geometrically and/or hydrodynamically complex oceanic and coastal ocean environments, through refinements in the defined physics, domain definition and computational grid resolution. The particular focus is on improved coupling of spectral wave models and circulation models within the framework of adaptive, parallel scalable, unstructured computational grids for ocean, coastal ocean, inlet, and inland waters.
