Wave and Circulation Prediction on Unstructured Grids

Abstract

The long term goal of this research is to improve the accuracy of the computed 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 focus is in particular on the improved coupling of wind generated short wave and circulation models within the framework of unstructured adaptive grid models for oceanic and coastal waters.
