[1] This study investigates the possibility of hindcasting‐observed decadal‐scale morphologic change in San Pablo Bay, a subembayment of the San Francisco Estuary, California, USA, by means of a 3‐D numerical model (Delft3D). The hindcast period, 1856–1887, is characterized by upstream hydraulic mining that resulted in a high sediment input to the estuary. The model includes wind waves, salt wa...

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 ...

The Persian Gulf is an important economic and geo-political region. Owing to its oil and gas resources, it is one of the busiest waterways in the world. There are many operating oil wells in the northern part of the Persian Gulf . As a result, the risk of contaminant dispersion is high. The deliberate discharge of 6.3 million barrels of crude oil during the 1991 war against Kuwait in this regio...

In order to optimize ship navigation in the macrotidal Gironde Estuary, a recent project funded by port of Bordeaux aims at better understand and forecast hydrodynamic fine sediment transport within estuary. framework this project, two-dimensional hydro-sedimentary model is built. The includes forcings, mixed-sediment transport, consolidation processes. harmonic analysis astronomical tides reve...

The development of a fully coupled and parallel hydraulics, sediment, and wave model for simulation of physical marine processes has impact on many national defense and security operations. This report describes the development of a parallel version of a combined hydraulics and sediment model a key component for the fully coupled model. The parallel version of the coupled hydraulics and sedimen...
