Hydrodynamics of Fringing Reef Systems. This project aims to develop a numerical circulation model applicable to fringing reef systems, in particular, the Ningaloo reef, Western Australia. The model will include the effects of tides, winds, surface gravity waves and density. The model results will be compared to field measurements collected by the Australian Institute of Marine Science. After the model has been developed and validated, it will be used to investigate processes such as water exchange between lagoons and open sea, effects of contaminant spills and recruitment within the reef systems. An understanding of these processes is essential for the sustainable management of these systems.

边缘礁系统的水动力学。该项目旨在开发适用于边缘礁系统的数值环流模式，特别是西澳大利亚的宁格鲁礁。该模型将包括潮汐、风、表面重力波和密度的影响。模型结果将与澳大利亚海洋科学研究所收集的实地测量结果进行比较。在模型开发和验证后，将用于调查泻湖和公海之间的水交换、污染物溢出的影响和珊瑚礁系统内的补充等过程。了解这些过程对于这些系统的可持续管理至关重要。
