Hydrodynamics in Shallow Estuaries with Complex Bathymetry and Large Tidal Ranges
2011
Monismith, Stephen G.
Out interest is in understanding how stratification, turbulence, and circulation interact in estuarine flows. It is our hypothesis that the role of stratification in suppressing turbulence is central to this interaction. Thus, a major focus of our work is in finding simple relationships (if possible) connecting local flow conditions to turbulence state and turbulent fluxes. We are also interested in using field data from complex estuarine flows to test circulation models, both in terms of straightforward comparisons/calibration and in terms of improving the ability of circulation models to properly represent the physics of these flows.
