Numerical Modelling Sediment-Bacteria Interaction Processes in the Severn Estuary

Numerical Modelling Sediment-Bacteria Interaction Processes in the Severn Estuary

Faecal bacteria exist in both free-living and attached forms in estuarine waters. The deposition of sediments can take faecal bacteria out of the water column and to the bed. The sediments can subsequently be re-suspended to the water column, which can then lead to re-suspension of the faecal bacteria of the attached forms back to the water column. Therefore, the fate and transport of faecal ba...

Numerical modelling of hydrodynamics, sediment transport and biogeochemistry in the Fitzroy Estuary

Sea level rise in the Severn Estuary and Bristol Channel and impacts of a Severn Barrage

Many research projects in recent years have focused on marine renewable energy devices and structures due to the growing interest in marine renewable energy. These devices and structures have very different life spans. Schemes such as the Severn Barrage in the UK, as originally proposed by the Severn Tidal Power Group (STPG), would be the largest tidal renewable energy generation project in the...

Hydrodynamic and Sediment Modelling within a Macro Tidal Estuary: Port Curtis Estuary, Australia

An understanding of sediment transport processes and resultant concentration dynamics in estuaries is of great importance to engineering design awareness and the management of these environments. Predictive modelling approaches provide an opportunity to investigate and address potential system responses to nominated events, changes, or conditions of interest, often on high temporal and spatial ...

Numerical modelling of microforming processes

It is well recognized that expertise, experience, and theoretical knowledge available in conventionally sized metal forming cannot be simply transferred to microforming. This is due to so-called size effects which have distinct effect on material flow, friction and other process characteristics [1,2]. Today, process simulation is a standard tool in industry, applied to support process layout an...
