Two-Dimensional Flow Modeling: Proceedings of the National U.S. Army Corps of Engineers-sponsored Seminar

The objectives of the seminar were: (1) to bring together developers, users, and potential users of two-dimensional mathematical models to develop a continuing dialogue concerning applications experience, problem identification, research goals, model evaluation, operational problems and model limitations; (2) to make researchers working in the areas of riverine and flood plain simulation aware of recent advances in coastal and estuarine modeling; and, (3) to examine mechanisms for transferring technology to field offices and field needs to research programs. The seminar emphasized two-dimensional homogeneous flows in the horizontal plane such as occur in rivers and well-mixed bays and estuaries. Papers focused on model application, features, performance and utility rather than recent research advances.
