| Abstract: |
A 3D finite-element numerical model is applied to the Adriatic Sea to simulate its tidal motions. This fully nonlinear model includes a free surface, very realistic topography, and an advanced turbulence closure. Comparison with available tidal elevations at coastal stations and with tidal ellipses at a few locations in the open sea demonstrates that the model simulations are highly accurate. The results are then used to determine the 3D distribution of the tidal residual currents. [Copyright &y& Elsevier] |
