Abstract

This chapter presents a review of previous studies related to the numerical modelling of the hydrodynamics of coastal lakes with emphasis on Egyptian coastal lakes. Also, related applications, such as water quality management and sediment transport scenarios in lakes, are presented. The focus is primarily on existing, well-established, numerical models and their applications to shallow water systems. The chapter starts with a general introduction to lake modelling followed by the techniques and assumptions that are commonly used. A summary of the available hydrodynamic models categorised based on whether they are one-, two-, or three-dimensional is presented. Previous hydrodynamic modelling of lakes is reviewed under a separate section within this chapter as well as those studies related to water quality management.
