Introduction to numerical methods for modeling flows in the coastal ocean and estuaries that are influenced by river flows, tides, winds and gravity waves. Topics include stability and accuracy analysis, curvilinear and unstructured grids, implicit/explicit methods, transport and diffusion, shallow water equations, nonhydrostatic equations, Navier-Stokes solvers, turbulence modeling, and wave modeling. Prerequisites: CEE 262A, CME 206, or equivalent. (Note: this course will not to be offered AY 2023-CEE 24)
