| Abstract: | The present paper describes applications of an integrated numerical modeling system for the study of hydrodynamic conditions in areas with large tidal and surge variations, strong current and very complex bathymetries. The modeling system includes a dynamic coupling between a 2D flow model and a spectral wave model and is based on an unstructured finite volume technique. Two applications are presented: the Bristol Channel, United Kingdom, and Grådyb tidal inlet, Denmark, characterized as macro- and micro-tidal estuaries, respectively. The work demonstrates the advantages of using an unstructured grid approach and that the inclusion of wave-current interaction is mandatory for obtaining accurate results in tidal areas. | |
