This paper assesses an upper bound for the tidal stream power resource of the Pentland
Firth. A depth-averaged numerical model of the tidal dynamics in the region is set-up and …

We present a parametric study of surface wave effects on storm surge and coastal
inundation. Hurricane wind forcing terms, atmosphere pressure gradient terms, and …

Mechanistic modeling of water resources systems is a broad field with abundant challenges.
We consider classes of model formulations that are considered routine, the focus of current …

Predicting coastal infrastructure reliability during hurricane events is important for risk-based
design and disaster planning, including delineating viable emergency response routes …

Storm surge due to hurricanes and tropical storms can result in significant loss of life,
property damage, and long-term damage to coastal ecosystems and landscapes. Computer …

We present a high-order entropy stable discontinuous Galerkin (ESDG) method for the two
dimensional shallow water equations (SWE) on curved triangular meshes. The presented …

The northern coasts of the Gulf of Mexico (GoM) are highly vulnerable to the direct threats of
climate change, such as hurricane-induced storm surge, and such risks are exacerbated by …

A local discontinuous Galerkin method for Boussinesq–Green–Naghdi equations is
presented and validated against experimental results for wave transformation over a …

Large geophysical flows often encompass both coarse and highly resolved regions.
Approximating these flows using shock-capturing methods with explicit time stepping gives …

Abstract The Houston Ship Channel (HSC) in Houston, Texas, is home to the second-
busiest port in the United States in terms of overall tonnage and contains one of the largest …
