RI Solid Waste Management Corp. Publications Annual program reports, research completion reports, research summary reports, fact sheets, newsletters. Return to Engineering Centers. The work includes development of wave, hydrodynamic, water quality, oil spill and chemical fate and trajectory, sediment transport, drill fluid and muds, and dredged soil disposal models. The model governing equations are solved using specialized girding systems and a variety of numerical techniques including boundary element and integral and finite difference methods. Equipment and Facilities Model development, application and testing are performed on personal computers and Sun workstations.
Software is available to animate model results.
An LCD panel is available to display predictions. Research Areas 1. Development and testing of numerical models to predict dynamics. Application of models to solve engineering problems 3. Integration of real time observations into models via data assimilation Funding Sources University of Rhode Island Sea Grant, US Coast Guard, Naval Underwater Warfare Center, Ocean Technology Center, Korean Research Institute of Ship and Ocean Engineering Return to Engineering Centers.
