This series of five volumes proposes an integrated description of physical processes modeling used by scientific disciplines from meteorology to coastal morphodynamics. Volume 1 describes the physical processes and identifies the main measurement devices used to measure the main parameters that are indispensable to implement all these simulation tools. Volume 2 presents the different theories in an integrated approach: mathematical models as well as conceptual models, used by all disciplines to represent these processes. Volume 3 identifies the main numerical methods used in all these scientific fields to translate mathematical models into numerical tools. Volume 4 is composed of a series of case studies, dedicated to practical applications of these tools in engineering problems. To complete this presentation, volume 5 identifies and describes the modeling software in each discipline.Content:Chapter 1 Reminders on the Mechanical Properties of Fluids (pages 1–33): Jacques GeorgeChapter 2 3D Navier?Stokes Equations (pages 35–42): Veronique DucrocqChapter 3 Models of the Atmosphere (pages 43–70): Jean CoiffierChapter 4 Hydrogeologic Models (pages 71–92): Dominique ThieryChapter 5 Fluvial and Maritime Currentology Models (pages 93–153): Jean?Michel TanguyChapter 6 Urban Hydrology Models (pages 155–212): Bernard ChocatChapter 7 Tidal Model and Tide Streams (pages 213–233): Bernard SimonChapter 8 Wave Generation and Coastal Current Models (pages 235–333): Jean?Michel Tanguy, Jean?Michel Lefevre and Philippe SergentChapter 9 Solid Transport Models and Evolution of the Seabed (pages 335–369): Benoit Le Guennec and Jean?Michel TanguyChapter 10 Oil Spill Models (pages 371–380): Pierre DanielChapter 11 Conceptual, Empirical and Other Models (pages 381–395): Christelle Alot and Florence HabetsChapter 12 Reservoir Models in Hydrology (pages 397–407): Patrick Fourmigue and Patrick ArnaudChapter 13 Reservoir Models in Hydrogeology (pages 409–418): Dominique ThieryChapter 14 Artificial Neural Network Models (pages 419–443): Anne JohannetChapter 15 Model Coupling (pages 445–492): Rachid Ababou, Denis Dartus and Jean?Michel TanguyChapter 16 A Set of Hydrological Models (pages 493–509): Charles Perrin, Claude Michel and Vasken Andreassian
