| Abstract | A reliable modelling of hydrodynamics and transport of substances in closed and semi-closed basins, such as lakes, lagoons and embayment, is typically a difficult task because of the intermittent external forcing (mainly wind), the internal stratification (usually due to the vertical distribution of temperature and/or salinity), the possible onset of internal waves, and the complex diffusion processes that characterize these environments. In particular, simulating the mixing associated with turbulence requires suitable models, which vary from very simple algebraic empirical closure for the eddy diffusivity, to more elaborate systems of differential equations for the transport of the turbulence properties, up to complex and computational demanding Large Eddy Simulations that are nowadays becoming a viable option also to study real problems. This course aims at providing the basic background on the boundary conditions and the physical processes in lakes, reservoirs and semi-enclosed basins as well as the modelling tools to understand and exploit the recent developments in this field. The course is intended for researchers and practitioners willing to become mature and aware users of the commercial software available in the environmental fluid dynamics engineering community. |
