the johor strait is an estuarine system located on the coast of the state of johor in malaysia.the western part of johor strait is a shallow estuarine located between causeway and pulai river. ahydrodynamic model was calibrated based on the environmental fluid dynamic code (efdc) from 4th to 17th of october, 2009. in this calibration, the efdc hydrodynamic model was configured to simulate time ...

Two major reverse osmosis seawater desalination plants are planned for construction in Spencer Gulf and Gulf St. Vincent, South Australia. A state-of-the-art and carefully calibrated hydrodynamic model (COHERENS) is employed to predict the fate of desalination brine in these sheltered inverse estuaries. In this study, we assume that the brine discharged has a salinity being twice that of ambien...

Abstract Erosion and sedimentation are the most complicated problems in hydrodynamic which are very important in water-related projects of arid and semi-arid basins. For this reason, the presence of suitable methods for good estimation of suspended sediment load of rivers is very valuable. Solving hydrodynamic equations related to these phenomenons and access to a mathematical-conceptual mode...

Scientific T To examine the spatial and temporal variability of rip currents using remote video imaging techniques. T To quantify changes in nearshore circulation and topography in response to varying incident wave conditions at different time scales including; P wave groupiness (time scales of 1-10 minutes), P tidal modulation (time scales of 12h and 24 h) and P wave height fluctuations associ...

Best Management Practices (BMPs) are implemented in a watershed to reduce the amount of non-point source pollutants transported to water bodies. However, an optimization algorithm is required to choose the efficient type, size, and location of BMPs for application in a watershed for improving the water quality. In this study, the Charged System Search, a well-known and powerful meta-heuristic o...

This study investigates the fate of sediment suspended due to dredging in Newark Bay, New Jersey to characterize exposure of winter flounder spawning habitat. Winter flounder is a recreationally and commercially significant species which has experienced a steady population decline over the last twenty years. Winter flounder eggs are demersal and adhesive. Possible factors affecting spawning hab...

A new unstructured grid two-dimensional, depth-integrated (2DDI), morphodynamic model is presented for the prediction of morphological evolutions in shallow water. This modelling system consists of two coupled model components: i.) a well verified and validated continuous Galerkin (CG) finite element hydrodynamic model; and ii.) a new sediment transport/bed evolution model that uses a discontin...

A spatially explicit coupled hydrodynamic-mass transport model system was used to simulate dispersal of particulate organic matter from Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) farming in central Norway. Model setups of 32m horizontal resolution were run for periods of up to 650 days for 3 sites of different oceanographic characteristics: one fjord location, one medium-exposed location influenced by fjord...
