“…The simplest of horizontal coordinate transformations are those that stretch coordinates to form a numerical grid that is rectangular but not uniform. The transformation used by Butler (1978Butler ( , 1980, and also implemented in the 3-D model by Sheng (1983) Noye and Stevens (1987) used the same horizontal transformation as Boericke and Hall but solved the transformed governing equations by using a nonuniform grid spacing in order to increase the grid resolution in regions of interest within the original coordinate system. The nonuniform grid spacing in the computational space must be chosen according to certain criteria presented by Noye and Stevens to retain the accuracy of the numerical approximations that are achievable for uniformly spaced grids.…”

This report mostly is a republication of a Ph.D. thesis prepared by the author for the University of California, Davis, in 1997. Only minor changes in the original thesis were made; these changes did not change the substance of the report. The reference list and the discussions of the state of knowledge in 3-D estuarine modeling have not been upgraded beyond 1997. The intent of republishing this work is to make its content available in an online format as part of the U.S. Geological Survey Open-File Report series. The version of the computer model described in this report is applicable only to simple rectangular geometries. Since 1997, it has been entirely recoded using the latest (Fortran 95) programming enhancements and generalized for applications to estuaries that have arbitrary geometries, including islands and barriers, and multiple open boundaries. The model has been used successfully in several applications to different parts of the San Francisco Bay-Delta Estuary, California. Although the model was designed mostly to apply to estuaries, the University of California, Davis, has successfully applied it to studies of lakes (Clear Lake and Lake Tahoe, California) also. Additional publications describing the model and its applications will be forthcoming.

“…Approaches to examine plan impacts include modeling, and in the cases of Los Angeles and Long Beach Harbors, there have been several numerical model studies of tidal circulation (Chiang and Lee 1982, Seabergh andOutlaw 1984, Seabergh 1985). Most of the previous numerical circulation studies were performed using depth-averaged models such as WIFM (Butler 1980) and using only tides for forcing. Recently, the ports, together with the U.S. Army Engineer District, Los Angeles and the U.S. Army Engineer Waterways Experiment Station (WES), embarked on a Harbors Model Enhancement (HME) Program.…”

“…Models currently being used at the Waterways Experiment Station (WES) include the finite difference model WIFM (WES Implicit Flooding Model), which evolved from early work by Leendertse (1967Leendertse ( , 1973. The model and its application have been refined and significantly improved at WES, and have been described at different stages of development by Butler (1980) . The finite element flow model of Research Management Associates (RMA-2V) (Ariathurai and Arulanadan 1978) evolved rom work by Norton et al (1973) sponsored by US Army Engineer District, Walla Walla.…”

1. Purpose. The purpose of this manual is to provide guidance in enviromental engineering for coastal shore protection projects.2. Applicability. This manual applies to all field operating activities that have responsibility for environmental impact studies related to coastal shore protection projects. 3.Discussion. This manual summarizes research and field experience gained in the area of environmental engineering for coastal shore protection. It addresses both natural and human induced changes in the coastal zone; the structural and nonstructural measures that coastal engineers employ against these changes; and the desirable and adverse impacts of the measures. This manual is intended to be compatible and used in conjunction with other OCE engineering manuals and the coastal Engineering Research Center's "Shore Protection Manual." As new information becomes available the manual will be periodically revised.
