Three-dimensional hydrodynamic model set-up: a case study of middle Tennessee River
The Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) Environmental Fluid Dynamics Code (EFDC) is a widely used hydrodynamics model that is no longer up to date with modern technology. As part of this research, an automated MATLAB based structured grid generator for EFDC was developed and was tested by …

Sediment Dynamics and Associations with Polychlorinated Biphenyls and Dioxins in an Urban Estuary
… contaminants and other estuarine systems. The Environmental Fluid Dynamics Code (EFDC) was used to investigate the water column and sediment dynamics within the system, including water column velocities, salinity, and suspended sediment, for both normal and rainfall conditions. The developed …

Evaluating the combined use of three-dimensional hydrodynamic modeling and polyethylene passive sampling in the Lower Duwamish Waterway
… established 3D hydrodynamic model (Environmental Fluid Dynamics Code [EFDC]), and availability of measured data. Density-driven circulation in the LDW drives saltwater upstream and freshwater downstream, influencing residence times, mixing times, and the resulting concentration …

Implementation of three-dimensional eutrophication model of Bubbly Creek, Chicago, Illinois
… eutrophication model based on the EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) approved three-dimensional model EFDC (Environmental Fluid Dynamics Code) is developed to study the flow and water quality characteristics in Bubbly Creek for the period of May 2009. The validation of the simulation …

Some problems in low Reynolds number environmental flows
This thesis investigates some problems in environmental fluid dynamics in which the role of inertia is negligible relative to viscous stresses and buoyancy forces. Simple models are developed to provide insight into the physics governing the flows and to determine the dependencies on a few …

Hydrodynamic and water quality modelling of Chicago Area Waterway System (CAWS)
… combination of numerical models are used. EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) approved three-dimensional model EFDC (Environmental Fluid Dynamics Code) is used for the three-dimensional modelling of CAWS. For longer term simulation of CAWS, EFDC model has been parallelized using Open-MP …

Dynamics Of Internal Solitary Wave And Bottom Boundary Interaction
… point where solitary waves reverse polarity. The dynamics of each breaker type were investigated and the predominance of a particular mechanism was associated with a relative developmental timescale. The breaker type was characterized in wave slope S_w versus S space and the reflection coefficient …
