Abstract

Mathematical models are increasingly being used to describe the evolution of hydrodynamic field and/or water quality parameters in coastal waters. Irrespective of the specific features of a model, whether it be a hurricane surge model for an open coast, a model of continental shelf circulation, or a model for tidal flow in a shallow coastal embayment, it is reasonable to assume that its ultimate use will be closely connected with the design of certain human-related activities. These include exploration of natural resources, waste disposal, shore protection etc., and usually are of significant economic importance. To make sensible planning and design decisions it is therefore essential that the accuracy and sensitivity of calculated model results be well understood.
