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 ...
An adaptive mesh solute transport model
(2009)
An adaptive mesh solute transport model is presented. The adaptive mesh scheme is implemented in a one-way multiply nested version of the hydrobiological model DIVAST (Depth Integrated Velocity and Solute Transport). 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 ...
The use of digital resources in civil engineering education: Enhancing student learning and achieving accreditation criteria.
(2012)
The use of digital resources in higher education has risen significantly over the last ten years and will continue to do so for the foreseeable future. The challenge for educational instructors is in determining how to ...
A nested hydrodynamic model incorporating flooding and drying
(2009)
A one-way nested version of the hydrobiological model DIVAST (Depth Integrated Velocity and Solute Transport) is introduced. The nested model allows flooding and drying of intertidal areas, a process often present in areas ...
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 ...
Nutrient dynamics in Cork Harbour
(2005)
Estuaries are commonly characterised by high productivity due to frequent if not continuous inputs of nutrients from domestic and industrial discharge effluents and from freshwater and marine sources. These forms of nutrient ...
A nested version of the combined hydrodynamic and water quality model, DIVAST
(2007)
The present research deals with the development of a one-way nested version of the combined hydrodynamic and water quality model DIVAST (Depth Integrated Velocity and Solute Transport). Initial research has concentrated ...
