Project description and objectives
...to apply an unstructured grid model to the ocean environment of western Scotland using finite element techniques with a variable grid spacing to allow the local retention of small scales in a large-scale model.
The Gulf of Corryvreckan and Great Race eddy field will provide a case study, using the detailed observations made through the GREAT RACE project to understand the dynamics of an intense tidal race and its associated small-scale mixing and eddy phenomena.
