Numerical Modeling of near Shore Coastal Processes
NCSCM has facilities for coastal environment prediction using high-resolution numerical models to address complex estuary or coastal circulation problems. They accurately represent the dynamical processes of estuarine and coastal systems and assess the effect of each driving force. To achieve accurate predictions of wetlands, estuaries, and coastal environments based on their geophysical complexity, simulations of the morpho-hydrodynamic, chemical, and biological behaviour of coastal processes are performed using the finite element, the finite difference, the finite volume, and the Eulerian-Lagrangian methods. The numerical models available at NCSCM, such as one-dimensional (1D) models, two-dimensional (2D) depth-integrated models, and three-dimensional (3D) models, are listed below:
Model | Predictions |
Mike21 FM Model | It is a hydrodynamic model used to forecast water levels and currents |
Mike21 SW Model | This is a wave model that calculates wave parameters and the wave energy spectrum. |
Mike21 BW Model | forecasting short and long-term wave disturbances in ports and harbours |
SWAN Model | predicts nearshore wave parameters as well as the wave energy spectrum. |
Delft3D | it is a collection of numerical models used to study hydrodynamics, sediment transport and morphology, water quality, and estuarine and coastal environments. |
ADCIRC Model | it forecasts estuarine and coastal circulation, as well as storm surge and flooding |
GenCade model | predicts of Long-term shoreline changes along the coast and sediment load |
Advection-Dispersion Model | Predicts the dispersion of water pollutant characteristics and their fate |
Particle Tracking Model | predicts the trajectory and fate of water-borne contaminants |
Eco-Lab | it is a set of numerical models that predicts water quality, nutrient dynamics, the health of marine systems, and the trajectory and fate of oil spills. |
GNOME Model | Prediction of the fate and transport of oil pollutants in water, as well as the tracking of their trails. |
