Hydrodynamics

Understanding hydrodynamics involves the application of complex, state-of-the-art computer simulation models to predict circulation and the transport of constituents introduced to the aquatic system. Constituents of concern and other important factors may include temperature, salinity, sediments, and pollutants. A variety of computer simulation models have been developed for use in modeling rivers, lakes and reservoirs, bays, estuaries, and the coastal regions. These models are used to investigate problems related to hydrodynamics, waves, sediment transport, contaminant transport, and water quality.

We have considerable technically experience and expertise with the development and application of two- and three-dimensional finite element and finite difference models including pre- and post-processing tools and graphical animation of the analysis results.

Our project experience and expertise includes:

• Mixing zone analysis and evaluation
• Evaluation of dredging and disposal issues
• Thermal discharge analysis
• Assessment of contaminated sediments
• Intake and outfall location analysis
• Determination of sediment bed stability
• Desalination discharge analysis
• Monitoring and sampling
• Salinity intrusion analysis
• Fate and transport of pollutants
