Abstract

This paper describes the development of a three-dimensional numerical model of circulation and salt distribution for estuarine and coastal application. A vertical coordinate transformation is described. This coordinate transformation has the advantage of mapping the free surface and bottom boundaries onto coordinate surfaces and allows for a uniform vertical grid resolution throughout the modeled region. It also results in some distinct advantages over previous, arbitrarily layered approaches. Explicit finite-differences are used to approximate the system of coupled, non-linear partial differential equations. (A)
