Turbulence modelling using 3DVAR data assimilation in laboratory conditions
(2013)
The viability of turbulence parameter estimation in a numerical model using 3DVAR data assimilation technique is explored in this research. Water currents measured in a physical model are assimilated into the numerical ...
Mechanisms of flooding in Cork City
(International Association of Hydrological Sciences, 2015-11-17)
Flooding is one of the most frequent and devastating natural disasters. Many urban developments are located in estuaries where river flow and sea water merge. Cork City situated in the River Lee estuary frequently subject ...
Parameterization of turbulence models using 3DVAR data
(City University of New York, 2014-01-08)
In this research the 3DVAR data assimilation scheme is implemented in the numerical model DIVAST in order to optimize the performance of the numerical model by selecting an appropriate turbulence scheme and tuning its ...
Tide-surge interactions and their effects on total sea levels
(Springer Verlag, 2013-05-08)
The research presented in this paper involves the application of the joint probability method to the estimation of extreme water levels resulting from astronomical tides and surge residuals and the investigation of the ...
A Performance Assessment Protocol for Structured Mesh Multi-Scale Models
(2011)
Nesting techniques are used to develop multi-scale models giving higher resolution and thus greater accuracy in nested domains. The assessment of model accuracy is therefore important for the successful implementation of ...
Adaptive Mesh Multi-Scale Modelling of Tidal Hydraulics and Material Transport
(2011)
Multi-scale modelling for structured meshes is achieved by nesting high resolution grids within lower resolution grids. By specifying high resolutions in areas of interest only, computational cost can be reduced. Adaptive ...
Modelling phytoplankton dynamics in a complex estuarine system
(2011)
The primary objective of this research was to develop a generic methodology for numerical modelling of the water quality within estuarine systems; in particular, this research focused on modelling nutrient dynamics and ...
Irish estuaries: Water quality status and monitoring implications under the water framework directive
(2011)
The status of water quality of Irish estuaries is reviewed; this sheds light on the rationale behind the design of the national monitoring programme. Relative to other EU Member States, Ireland's coastal monitoring programme ...
Nested circulation modelling of inter-tidal zones: details of a nesting approach incorporating moving boundaries
(2010)
Nested circulation models developed to date either exclude the flooding and drying process or prohibit flooding and drying of nested boundaries; they are therefore ill-suited to the accurate modelling of inter-tidal areas. ...
An integrated approach to trophic assessment of coastal waters incorporating measurement, modelling and water quality classification
(2012)
Various protocols have been developed for trophic assessment of coastal waters but most incorporate single value compliance criteria for water quality parameters which, in reality, exhibit significant spatial variation. ...
