Seagrass Resilience in Port Phillip Bay

Assimilation of sea-surface temperature into a hydrodynamic model of Port Phillip Bay, Australia

Hydrodynamic models can predict states of interest to the coastal engineer, however, due to uncertainties in the model physics, model parameters, initial conditions, and model forcing data, large errors in prediction often result. To counter this, an ensemble sequential data assimilation scheme has been applied to the Model for Estuaries and Coastal Oceans (MECO), to constrain model predicted w...

Modelling the effect of proposed channel deepening on the tides in Port Phillip Bay

The Victorian State Government is investigating a proposal to deepen the channels into Port Phillip Bay in order to bring larger ships into the Bay. The Port of Melbourne Corporation, the Victorian State Government authority responsible for the channel deepening, concluded that the largest increase in tidal height due to the channel deepening will be eight mm. We independently study the effect ...

Whaling , Modern Phillip

At the time that Melville wrote Moby Dick, the basic technology of whaling had remained essentially unchanged for centuries. Whaling ships plied their trade under sail, and the small boats that they lowered to pursue whales were also powered by wind, or by the brute strength of their crew’s arms at the oars. The killing of whales required men to bring their frail craft alongside the huge quarry...

Port-Hamiltonian systems: an introductory survey

The theory of port-Hamiltonian systems provides a framework for the geometric description of network models of physical systems. It turns out that port-based network models of physical systems immediately lend themselves to a Hamiltonian description. While the usual geometric approach to Hamiltonian systems is based on the canonical symplectic structure of the phase space or on a Poisson struct...
