Unstructured grid ocean models are advantageous for simulating the coastal ocean and
river–estuary–plume systems. However, unstructured grid models tend to be diffusive and/or …

Unstructured meshes are common in coastal modeling, but still rarely used for modeling the
large-scale ocean circulation. Existing and new projects aim at changing this situation by …

Implicit–explicit (IMEX) time stepping methods can efficiently solve differential equations with
both stiff and nonstiff components. IMEX Runge–Kutta methods and IMEX linear multistep …

Understanding the transport and fate of suspended sediment exported by rivers is crucial for
the management of sensitive marine ecosystems. Sediment transport and fate can vary …

A Dynamic hp-Adaptive Discontinuous Galerkin Method for Shallow-Water Flows on the Sphere
with Application to a Global Tsunami Simulation in: Monthly Weather Review Volume 140 Issue 3 …

Numerical modelling of coastal flows is a challenging topic due to complex topography of
the coastal zone, rapid flow dynamics and large density variations. Such phenomena are …

Abstract The Columbia River (CR) estuary is characterized by high river discharge and
strong tides that generate high velocity flows and sharp density gradients. Its dynamics …

We describe the space discretization of a three-dimensional baroclinic finite element model,
based upon a discontinuous Galerkin method, while the companion paper (Comblen et al …

Understanding complex physical phenomena often involves dealing with partial differential
equations (PDEs) where different phenomena exhibit distinct timescales. Fast terms …

Numerical models of marine hydrodynamics have to deal with processes exhibiting a wide
range of timescales. These processes include fast external gravity waves and slower …
