Although considerable progress has been made in the application of two-and three-
dimensional shallow water models to simulate flow in estuaries and coastal lagoons, a …

An operational surge forecast system based on a combination of a hydrodynamic model and
an artificial neural network is described. The system runs at the centre for sea level …

The development, calibration and validation of a two-dimensional finite element model for
the Venice Lagoon is described. The model uses a staggered grid for the spatial integration …

A new set of two‐dimensional shallow flow equations is developed in order to deal with
partially wet and very irregular domains. The bottom irregularities, which in many practical …

In this work the water residence time of the Venice Lagoon has been computed using a 2D
hydrodynamic model. The model is based on the finite element method. It solves the shallow …

A numerical model that combines wind waves with tidal fluxes in a tidal basin is presented
and validated. The model couples a hydrodynamic finite element module based on the …

In this work the flushing features of a tidal active coastal basin, the Venice lagoon, have
been investigated. The water transport time scale (TTS) has been computed by means of …

The Strait of Bonifacio is a long and narrow area between Corsica and Sardinia. To manage
environmental emergencies related to the spill of oil from vessels, an innovative forecasting …

The study of impacts of the global climate change in the coastal lagoons, specially in the
Mediterranean region, is an important starting point for all the vulnerability studies, risk …

The MoSE project (construction of mobile barrier to safeguard the Lagoon of Venice) entails
changes to the structure of the lagoon's inlets. This could have consequences for the areas …
