COASTAL ENGINEERING EDUCATION AND COASTAL MODELS

Coastal and Ocean Engineering

This course introduces maritime engineering, encompassing coastal and ocean engineering. It concentrates on providing an understanding of the many processes at work when the tides, storms and waves interact with the natural and human environments. The course will be a mixture of description and theory – it is hoped that by understanding the theory that the practice will be made all the easier. ...

Meshing Ocean Domains for Coastal Engineering Applications

As we continue to exploit and alter the coastal environment, the quantification of the potential impacts from planned coastal engineering projects, as well as the minimisation of any detrimental effects through design optimisation, are receiving increasing attention. Geophysical fluid dynamics simulations can provide valuable insight towards the mitigation and prevention of negative outcomes, a...

validation of global ocean tide models in coastal regions of persian gulf and oman sea using coastal tide gauge observations

in recent years, several ocean tide models have been used to calculate tides using data of satellite and tide gauges data. global ocean tide models have many applications in various sciences such as geophysics, geology and geodesy and oceanography. considering­ the existence of many models, a quantitative evaluation of research, and ranking and selecting the best model of the global ocean tide ...
