The numerical simulation of estuarine dynamics requires accurate prediction for the transport of tracers such as temperature and salinity. All numerical models introduce two kinds of tracer mixing: 1) by parameterizing the tracer eddy diffusivity through turbulence models leading to a source of physical mixing and 2) discretization of the tracer advection term that leads to numerical mixing. Both physical and numerical mixing vary with the choice of horizontal advection schemes, grid resolution, and time step. We utilize the Coupled-Ocean-Atmosphere-Wave-Sediment Transport (COAWST) model to study the mixing in the model by simulating four idealized cases with three different tracer advection schemes.
An idealized domain is setup to test the development of Submerged Aquatic Vegetation (SAV) growth model within the Coupled Ocean-Atmosphere-Wave-Sediment Transport (COAWST) model. The change in SAV biomass is computed from temperature, nutrient loading and light predictions obtained from coupled hydrodynamics (temperature), bio-geochemistry (nutrients) and bio-optical (light) models. In exchange, the growth of SAV sequesters or contributes nutrients from the water column and sediment layers. The presence of SAV modulates current and wave attenuation and consequently affects modelled sediment transport. The idealized domain simulation shows that the newly developed framework can simulate a two-way coupled SAV-biogeochemistry-hydrodynamic...

Idealized COAWST numerical model for testing marsh wave thrust and lateral retreat dynamics routines
There are two idealized domains developed in this work to test the marsh dynamics in the COAWST modeling framework. 1. First idealized domain is to test and verify the lateral thrust calculations. 2. Second idealized domain is to test the implementation of lateral retreat formulations.
Marshes may drown if they are unable to accrete sediment at the rate of sea level rise, but predicting the rate of sediment accretion at different marshes is challenging because many processes (e.g. tidal range, wave frequency) and conditions (e.g. available sediment, vegetation density, shape of the marsh edge) impact it. The Coupled Ocean-Atmosphere-Wave-Sediment Transport (COAWST, Warner and others 2019; Warner and others 2010) model was used to simulate three-dimensional hydrodynamics, waves, and sediment transport on a marsh platform in an idealized domain. The computational grid was 400 (20) cells in the cross-shore (along-shore) directions with 10 vertical sigma layers, and a cross-shore horizontal resolution...
