Abstract

This chapter presents a description of models used for simulations performed in this book, including the Coastal ocean Current Model with a multi-sigma coordinate system (CCM) developed by the author and a colleague for computation of seawater flow, a wave model SWAN developed at Delft University of Technology, and the Lagrangian particle tracking model.

This chapter is based on work reported by Murakami et al. (2004).
