Abstract
We present a numerical model of coastal circulation described by the f ree-surface Navier-Stokes equations. The classical two-equation k - ep silon closure model adapted to stratified flows is modified to take ac count of the non-isotropic effects on turbulence due to buoyancy the C oriolis force and shallow waters. The objective is to study the influe nce of turbulence parametrization in the simulation of the wind-driven coastal upwelling circulation.
