Modelling is now an accepted part in the understanding, prediction and planning of environmental strategies. Perfect for undergraduate students and non-specialist readers, Modelling Coastal and Marine Processes (2nd Edition) offers an introduction into how coastal and marine models are constructed and used.

The mathematics, statistics and numerical techniques used are explained in the first few chapters, making this book accessible to those without a high-level maths background. Later chapters cover modelling sea bed friction, tides, shallow sea dynamics, and ecosystem dynamics. Importantly, there is also a chapter on modelling the impact of climate change on coastal and near shore processes.

New to this revised edition is a chapter on tides, tsunamis and the prediction of sea level, and additional material on the new application of the numerical techniques: flux corrected transport, finite volumes and adaptive grids to coastal and marine modelling.

Contents:

  • Modelling Preliminaries
  • Modelling Tools and Techniques
  • Mathematical Foundations
  • Numerical Methods
  • Applied Numerical Methods
  • Tides, Surges and Tsunamis
  • Modelling Diffusion
  • Shoreline Management
  • Ecosystems and Other Biological Modelling
  • Climate Change and Large Scale Ocean Models
  • Estuarial Flow
  • Trapped Waves and Currents
  • Conclusion
  • Answers to and Comments on the Exercises

Readership: Undergraduate and graduate students in the fields of civil, marine or coastal engineering.
Key Features:

  • Chapters written in a way that is accessible to undergraduate students
  • Inclusion of ecosystems modelling as well as the background mathematics and statistics
  • Includes a chapter on the impact of climate change
