In view of the expansion and directional change mechanisms Yangtze River water diluted with sea in shelf region (also known as Changjiang [CDW]) during summer autumn, a three-dimensional hydrodynamic model Estuary (YRE) its adjacent waters was established based on Finite Volume Community Ocean Model (FVCOM). Compared measured data, accurately simulates characteristics YRE. On that basis, influe...

The wet/dry point treatment method of FVCOM was applied to simulate the tide-induced flooding/drying process in estuarine–tidal-creek–saltmarsh complex Okatee/Colleton River Estuary, South Carolina. simulation results were compared with observed currents at three mooring sites and flooded areas from remote-sensing hypsometric measurements, demonstrating that can robustly reproduce tidal residua...

The filamentous green alga Cladophora grows to nuisance proportions in Lake Ontario. Stimulated by high phosphorus concentrations, growth results the degradation of beaches and clogging industrial water intakes with attendant loss beneficial uses. We develop a multi-module bioavailable model examine efficacy management strategies mitigating algal growth. platform includes modules simulating hyd...

The post-smolt phase is considered a critical period for Atlantic salmon ( Salmo salar). Hence, identifying migration routes used by post-smolts needed to protect the habitats they require successfully complete their life cycle. We biophysical model coupled with output from water circulation (FVCOM) simulate dispersal of in semi-enclosed bay: Passamaquoddy Bay, New Brunswick, Canada. was run ni...

Sediment hyperpycnal flow is one of the most important processes for mass transport, which essential to coastal morphodynamics. Herein, we studied generation and maintenance sediment in Yellow River Estuary (YRE) using a three-dimensional finite volume ocean model (FVCOM). The considered effect sediment-laden water on density stratification, was validated by field hydrodynamic data. Numerical r...

The coastline of Shantou is tortuous, while the hydrodynamic environment complicated. In this paper, model established by FVCOM (Finite Volume Coastal Ocean Model); open boundary conditions such as water level, river, and wind field are input; verified tidal harmonic function. According to previous research, typhoon with a 10-year return period selected for storm surge simulation. When there ba...

The nature of the exchange flow between Bay Quinte and Lake Ontario has been studied to illustrate effects seasonal onset stratification on flushing transport material within bay. Flushing is an important physical process in bays used as drinking water sources because it affects phosphorous loads quality. A 2-d analytical model a 3-dimensional numerical coastal (FVCOM) were together with situ o...

Abstract The estuary is highly dynamic and sensitive to external internal forcing. We examine a chain reaction of hydrodynamic morphodynamic responses series land reclamation projects during the period 1997 2017 in North Branch Changjiang Estuary through Digital Elevation Model (DEM) comparison numerical simulation by Finite Volume Community Ocean (FVCOM). results show that tidal amplification ...
