CIE 554 - Natural System Hydrodynamics


This course will cover the basic hydrodynamics and physical processes governing flow patterns in lakes, rivers, estuaries, and oceans. Topics that will be discussed include typical steady dynamical balances in natural systems’ the transport and mixing of salt, heat and momentum’ and the temporal and spatial scales of variability in natural systems due to atmospheric forcing, tidal forcing, freshwater flows and morphology.

Prerequisites & Notes
