We review the current status of general relativistic studies for the coalescence of black hole-neutron star (BH-NS) binaries. First, procedures for a solution of BH-NS binaries in quasi-equilibrium circular orbits and the numerical results, such as quasi-equilibrium sequence and mass-shedding limit, of the high-precision computation, are summarized. Then, the current status of numerical-relativ...

UCHIYAMA, Y., 2007. Hydrodynamics and associated morphological variations on an estuarine intertidal sand flat. Journal of Coastal Research, 23(4), 1015–1027. West Palm Beach (Florida), ISSN 0749-0208. Hydrodynamics, sediment suspension, and morphological response on an estuarine intertidal sand flat in Tokyo Bay, Japan, are examined through a field experiment performed for 16 days in winter 20...

Tidal stream energy has the potential to make a significant contribu‐ tion to energy mix in the future. Accurate modelling and visualisation of both tidal resource and array layout enhances understanding of in-stream tidal behav‐ iour leading to improvements in site identification and optimal positioning of individual turbines. A realistic representation of blade loading conditions will aid des...

Ariake Sound, in Kyushu Island of western part of Japan and connecting the small bay, Isahaya Bay, in the northwestern (Fig. 1) is strongly affected by large semidiurnal tide of which amplitude ranges from 3 to 5 m [3]. While Ariake Sound exhibits highly productive, red tides have occurred more frequently around the northern area of Isahaya Bay Mouth, causing damage to the sheries, recently [1]...

The broad objective of this project has been to extend our understanding on the role of large scale offshore forcing, including baroclinic tides, in nearshore dynamics. From this understanding we aim to develop modeling approaches that, combined with offshore baroclinic models, can account for the effects of offshore internal wave forcing on the circulation and sediment transport in the coastal...

from the regional ocean modeling system (ROMS), has three one-way nested domains with the finest resolution of 1.6 km in the horizontal direction and 32 levels in the vertical direction. In present research, the tidal simulation of the system is validated against tide gauges, ADCP current observations, high-frequency radar surface-current observations, and compared with the output from two baro...
