Abstract
The development of a finite element model to solve the vertically integrated form of the hydrodynamics equations is described. The Galerkin method is used in the formulation and Lagrangian quadratic isoparametric elements are employed to represent the arbitrary lateral topography of bays. The scheme has the computational advantage that no matrices for the whole system need be formed or solved. Hence, the resulting computer program uses reduced storage space and saves computation time. The model is applied to the tidal circulation problem in a bay where a nuclear power station is being built.
