Coupled hydrodynamic - water quality - ecological modelling
|
This article is being prepared by Nicki Villars, Delft Hydraulics, and Yannis Krestenitis, University of Thessaloniki.
Numerical models are increasingly being used together with field monitoring data as research and management tools to help understand the behaviour and functioning of a specific natural system. This article on Coupled hydrodynamic - water quality - ecological modelling presents the 'effect chain' approach for modelling marine and coastal ecology.
Introduction
This article will concentrate on an integrated modelling approach in which hydrodynamics, suspended sediment dynamics and water quality are combined in order to simulate algae primary production and nutrient concentrations. Such an integrated modelling approach generally requires a series of coupled models.
