This book was released on 1986 with total page 126 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The astronomic tidal circulation in Puget Sound, Washington, is investigated using the Waterways Implicit Flooding Model (WIFM) in two-dimensional, vertically-averaged context. The state of knowledge of general circulation characteristics is presented as a prelude to the numerical modeling investigation. A general tide prediction program had been developed which predicts both tidal evaluations and horizontal currents. Astronomic tidal characteristics are studied on a 70 (horizontal) by 103 (vertical) dimension global grid comprising 7,210 cells with a maximum spatial resolution of 3,750 ft. A 90-sec time-step was employed in all WIFM long-wave simulations resulting in a maximum Courant number of 4.1. Simulated tidal elevations and vertically-averaged currents were calibrated to predicted values for the 16-18 January 1981 spring tide period. Calibrated bottom friction mechanics were verified using the 13-15 January 1981 neap tide period. Simulated results corresponded to predicted values of elevation and current except for some discrepancies in the Southern Basin. Peak current magnitudes were tabulated at existing disposal sites for both calibration and verification of astronomic tide conditions. Meteorological effects and freshwater inflows were not considered. The 11-13 December 1985 extreme spring tide period was also simulated, and maximum current velocities and their associated times of occurrence were tabulated. Keywords: Finite difference method; Hydrodynamics; Mathematical models; Dredge disposal.

Book excerpt: This Book compliles Current Charts and Tide Prints for Puget Sound. Current Charts show the values of the currents at each reference station. There is one chart for every hour throughout the cycle. They are indexed to the tidal current at Admiralty Inlet. Tide Prints show the flow patterns and how they evolve throughout the current cycle. There is one print for every 3 hours throughout the cycle. They are indexed to the tide height in Seattle. Comparing Tide Prints and Current Charts shows the locations of eddies and bands of current, and how these bands and eddies move and interact as the current cycle evolves. These are both perpetual publications, good for any year.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The increasing exploitation of coastal waters as well as the increasing discharge of domestic and industrial effluents into them underscore the need for a quantitative understanding of the basic circulation of such waters and for a predictive capability for major contingencies likely to occur. This volume considers an extensive complex of waters contained between Vancouver Island and the mainland coasts of British Columbia and the State of Washington, the site of two major ports and a region of intense activity and development. It presents the reader with a broad overview ranging from tidal and estuarine circulation, including the dynamical simulation of a major river plume and influences propagating in from the open boundaries, to the effects of storm surges and tsunamis.
