Introduction. Part 1: The dynamic environment. The deep-water origins of
the physical environment of coastal, estuarial and harbour regions. An
introduction to nearly-horizontal flows. Element of the theory of
turbulence. Diffusion, dispersion and sub-grid parametization. Elements of
non-cohesive sediment transport. Elements of cohesive sediment deposition,
consolidation and erosion. Three-dimensional hydrodynamic models.
Quasi-three-dimensional modelling using mixed finite difference and
spectral models. Two-dimensional nearly-horizontal flow models.
One-dimensional nearly-horizontal flow models. Numerical modelling of
short-period waves. Three-dimensional advection-diffusion models.
Two-dimensional advection-diffusion models. One-dimensional
transport-dispersion and water quality. Three-dimensional
sediment-transport models. Two-dimensional models of sediment transport due
to waves and currents. One-dimensional models of sediment-transport under
the influence of currents. Physical short-period-wave models.
