A state-of-the-art finite element model is described and applications are shown for the Gulf of Maine. The three-dimensional (hydrostatic) with a free surface, fully nonlinear, incorporates advanced turbulence closure operates in tidal time. Variable horizontal vertical resolution facilitated by use unstructured meshes. Solutions Maine illustrate performance context several isolated nonlinear processes. Composite solutions March–April July–August time periods recorded under climatological...
ABSTRACT Results of a modeling study designed to explore the influences physical advection and certain biological mechanisms on distribution cod (Gadus morhua) haddock (Melarwgrammus aeglefinus) early life stages Georges Bank are described. Using late‐winter/early‐spring 3‐D circulation field driven by M 2 tidal current, mean wind stress Scotian Shelf inflow, we examine larvae spawned Northeast Peak Bank. The sensitivity March‐April baroclinic is also explored. indicate that remaining in...
An individual‐based life history and population dynamic model for the winter–spring dominant copepod of subarctic North Atlantic, Calanus finmarchicus , is coupled with a regional advection Gulf Maine Georges Bank. Large numbers vectors, each representing individual copepods elements age, stage, ovarian status other variables, are carried in computation through hourly time steps. Each vector updated at step according to development rate reproductive functions derived from experimental data....
Computational results are presented for the climatological circulation in Gulf of Maine, with special emphasis on its coastal current periods March-April and May-June. The simulations use a 3-D prognostic Finite Element model. computational domain includes entire plus adjacent waters, higher resolution nested within. A series six bimonthly Gulf-wide establishes spring conditions within annual cycle. distinctive Maine cyclonic is persistent, significant modulation key features. In all cases...
Mathematical models are applied to the movement and inorganic contamination of moisture in sanitary landfills situated above water table. The based on simple well-mixed reactor concepts, unsaturated flow transport porous media. Computer simulations obtained for laboratory-scale experimental reported by others. General agreement between simulated observed results indicates that leachate behavior is explainable terms fundamental processes. roles retention landfill dilution infiltrating shown...
The characteristics of the principal barotropic diurnal and semidiurnal tides are examined for South Atlantic Bight (SAB) eastern United States coast. We combine recent observations from pressure gauges ADCPs on fixed platforms additional short‐term deployments off Georgia Carolina coasts together with National Ocean Service coastal tidal elevation harmonics. These data have shed light regional propagation, particularly Georgia/South coast, which is perforated by a dense estuary/tidal inlet...
ASCE has developed an aspirational vision of the profession that deals aggressively with pressing emergent issues. The demands development many aspects profession, including both specialized knowledge and its direction into action. As a result, vocabulary achievement is needed addresses both. Standard educational taxonomy distinguishes cognitive affective domains human achievement. domain typically emphasized as it comprises “knowledge, skills abilities” naturally importance to engineering....
A finite element model for simulating tidal flooding and dewatering of shallow estuaries is described applications to hypothetical embayments the Great Bay, New Hampshire estuary system, are presented. The incorporates two-dimensional kinematic wave physics, with a porous medium beneath open channel incorporate realistic drainage dry elements on fixed, high resolution mesh. Galerkin method used simple linear solved implicitly iteration in time. Simulations idealized channels conserve mass,...
The underlying scientific objective here is to determine the mechanisms that control seasonal variations in abundance of Pseudocalanus spp. Georges Bank–Gulf Maine region. It postulated observed distributions result from interaction population dynamics with climatological circulation. problem posed mathematically as a 2‐D advection–diffusion–reaction equation for scalar variable. Given an initial distribution animals, we seek source term R ( x , y ) such integration forward model will...
Abstract Exact periodic solutions are generated for the 3‐D hydrodynamic equations in linearized form. A linear slip condition is enforced at bottom, based on velocity bottom. It shown that bottom stress can be equivalently expressed terms of vertically averaged velocity, and expressions this coefficient derived primary parameters problem. As a result, three‐dimensional structure may assembled from conventional to (a) 1‐D vertical diffusion equation; (b) 2‐D shallow water equations. In...
