Horizontal dispersion by tidal and residual currents is discussed in terms of two different
mechanisms, viz. a “cascade” of shear-dispersion processes and “Lagrangian chaos”. In the …

This review is intended as a comprehensive but concise summary of present capabilities in
coastal pollutant, ecosystem and water quality modelling. It reflects the recent rapid …

This book is an outgrowth of research contributions and teaching experiences by all the
authors in applying modern fluid mechanics to problems of pollutant transport and mixing in …

Whether the result of an oil well blowout, vessel collision or grounding, leaking pipeline, or
other incident at sea, each marine oil spill will present unique circumstances and …

Rattray Island, northeast Australia, is 1.5 km long, 300 m wide, and lies in well‐mixed water
approximately 25 m deep. Its long axis is inclined at about 60° into the direction of the …

Physical Oceanographic Processes of the Great Barrier Reef is the first comprehensive
volume describing the water circulation and its influence in controlling the distribution of …

The ocean has for all time been the ultimate sink for water-borne waste products coming
from the land. Rivers and small creeks have always carried silt into the ocean and since the …

To help readers unfamiliar with the physical oceanography of the Baltic Sea to construct a
qualitative model of the functioning of the Baltic Sea in their own minds, this introductory …

A predictive model of the fate of coral reef fish larvae in a reef system is proposed that
combines the oceanographic processes of advection and turbulent diffusion with the …

Eulerian and Lagrangian measurements of nearshore circulation on a longshore uniform
beach with perpendicularly incident swell waves are described. Both the Eulerian and …
