The systemincorporates wind, temperature and atmospheric pressure forcing that drive thecirculation, wave, sediment and bottom boundary layer model components.</p><p>The effects of the wind generated surface waves on the water column and bottomlayer dynamics are parametrized by the inclusion of the Stokes drift, and the wave radiation stress terms that quantify the excess of mass and momentum fluxproduced by the waves. Coupled wave-hydrodynamic models traditionally incorporatethe radiation stress terms only into the vertically integrated momentum. Consideringthe fact that currents are 3D structures, the vertical variation of the radiationstress should be also considered. In the present work the 3D momentumequations are re-derived to include the full 3D impact of the radiation stresseson the currents.</p><p>As a preliminary test, the system is applied to Lake Michigan with a twofoldpurpose: <i>a</i> to conduct an initial testing of the model prognosticvariables with and without the effect of the waves; and <i>b</i> to developa methodology required to answer whether the annually observedSpring turbidity nearshore plume in Southern Lake Michigan is transportingmaterial from its origin in one continuous transport mode or as generatedby a series of local deposition, resuspension and transport activities.To this end data collected during the <i>EEGLE</i> project are fully analyzed;shoreline erosion rates and texture of the eroded material were collected fromvarious sources and via various methods and are presented for 34shoreline segments in a uniform format; an Eulerian Particle Trackingformulation that identifies the source and origin of the various particlesizes within the sediment plume is presented; and a conceptual and computationalset up of the control volumes or sediment plume sources/origins required for adetailed study of the Spring turbidity plume is developed.</p> 2009-01-12 English text The Ohio State University / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=osu1229959016 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=osu1229959016 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
