Unstructured-grid models grounded on semi-implicit, finite-volume, Eulerian–Lagrangian
algorithms, such as UnTRIM and ELCIRC, have enjoyed considerable success recently in …

The continued decline of Columbia River salmon (Oncorhynchus spp.) populations has long
focused concerns on habitat changes upriver, particularly the effects of large hydroelectric …

In this paper, a shallow-water flow solver is presented, based on the finite-volume method
on unstructured grids The method is suitable for flows that occur in rivers, channels, sewer …

Challenges posed by the Columbia River estuary–plume–shelf system have led to the
development of ELCIRC, a model designed for the effective simulation of 3D baroclinic …

River Influences on Shelf Ecosystems (RISE) is the first comprehensive interdisciplinary
study of the rates and dynamics governing the mixing of river and coastal waters in an …

A numerical simulation of circulation in the Columbia River estuary and plume during the
summer of 2004 is used to explore the mixing involved as river water is transformed into …

Realistic hindcast of the Columbia River estuarine‐plume‐shelf circulation in summer 2004
using the Regional Ocean Modeling System nested within the Navy Coastal Ocean Model …

A monthlong time series of wave, current, salinity, and suspended‐sediment measurements
was made at five sites on a transect across the Mouth of Columbia River (MCR). These data …

The transition between riverine and estuarine environments is characterised by a change
from unidirectional to bidirectional flows, in a region referred to herein as the Tidally …

Numerical modeling of three-dimensional estuarine circulation is often challenging due to
complex flow features and strong density gradients. In this paper the skill of a specific model …
