Estuarine Analysis (English Edition)

(as of – Details)

An accurate simulation of estuarine ecosystems has been developed to identify the critical variables to predict estuarine behavior from internal and external changes and was used for a regional analysis. The simulation is based on conservation equations for mass, momentum and energy, rate equations and equilibrium equations which were validated using field and laboratory data. The development of mathematical expressions describing the biogeochemical cycling of nitrogen and biomass dynamics as they occur in the Barataria Bay region of southeast Louisiana was a prerequisite to the formation of a system model. Barataria Bay is bounded on the east by the levies of the Mississippi River, on the west by Bayou Lafourche, on the north by the Inter-coastal Waterway with flow into the bay from the Intracoastal Waterway system, and the south side by barrier islands with tidal fluctuations through the passes between the barrier islands. These expressions were necessary to formulate an overall, comprehensive, large-scale model of the nutrient transport phenomena that take place in estuarine ecosystems, and which significantly account for the high productivity of these areas. Rate expressions were developed for important nutrients including a live and a dead standing crop of Spartina alterniflora, settled coarse detritus, fine suspended detritus, dissolved organic nitrogen, two forms of dissolved inorganic nitrogen, animal biomass, and phytoplankton biomass. The rate expressions and their development in addition to the boundary and initial conditions required to solve the hydrodynamic and materials transport equations that constitute the simulation model are reported in four chemical engineering Ph.D. dissertations by S. Hacker, H. Trivedi, S. Vora and C Billups (available at www.mpri.lsu.edu).
