Contents
The book is devoted to mathematical modeling of the dynamics of coastal seas, estuaries and tidal inlets, with an emphasis on the impact of human interventions and climate change on these ecosystems. It examines aspects such as water movement, transport of pollutants and precipitation, as well as waves and turbulence. It is intended for students, novice researchers and professionals, and includes basic mathematical concepts, an overview of various types of waves and turbulence models, as well as modeling morphodynamics and transport processes. The book helps to deepen understanding of complex interactions in coastal ecosystems and supports balanced decision-making in the field of coastal resource management.
