USE OF NUMERICAL MODELS IN PORT DESIGN AND MANAGEMENT

A few numerical models that are useful in analyzing a wide range of port management problems are described. The author presents some examples of the application of these models in dealing with such port operation concerns as the siting of new facilities; the alignment of dredged channels; the effects of estuary entrance modifications; and the prediction of the path and spread of oil spills in harbors.
