The state of the art of the numerics of hydrostatic structured-grid coastal ocean models is
reviewed here. First, some fundamental differences in the hydrodynamics of the coastal …

The dynamical core of a new sea ice model is presented. It is based on the Elasto–Brittle
rheology, which is inspired by progressive damage models used for example in rock …

Several approaches can be used for estimating tidal power potential. From a theoretical
point of view, others have shown that the problem can be reduced to a single or multiple …

Abstract Greater Cook Strait (GCS) lies between the North and the South Islands of New
Zealand. Its location at the convergence of the Pacific and Indo-Australian tectonic plates …

We apply a three-dimensional hydrodynamic model to consider the potential effects of
energy extraction by an array of tidal turbines on the ambient near-bed velocity field and …

Unstructured grid models are often used for modelling coastal problems, due to their
efficiency at handling complex coastlines while also not over resolving deeper water. In this …

Except for vertical diffusion (and possibly the external mode and bottom drag), oceanic
models usually rely on explicit time-stepping algorithms subject to Courant–Friedrichs–Lewy …

Unstructured grid models are receiving increased attention mainly because of their ability to
provide a flexible spatial discretization. Hence, some areas can be resolved in great detail …

The Arakawa C-grid is in widespread use in structured grid atmospheric and oceanic
models. It now forms the grid of choice for a number of efficient and compact unstructured …

We present a parallel implementation framework for a new dynamic/thermodynamic sea-ice
model, called neXtSIM, based on the Elasto–Brittle rheology and using an adaptive mesh …
