A Two-Dimensional Depth-Integrated Finite Element Coastal Circulation Model

A vertically integrated, shallow water model has been developed to address coastal circulation problems. It uses a triangular grid in conjunction with the finite element method. The model accounts for tidal changes, wind drag, lateral in/out flow and other factors. Partial results of a sample computer run for Apra Harbor, Guam, are given. These results have not yet been verified with field data.
