Goldsmith Inlet
Water-surface elevation and current velocity at Goldsmith Inlet and
Goldsmith Pond were calculated with the DYNLET model. DYNLET is well
suited for applications to inlet and bay systems not expected to have complex
horizontal circulation patterns. Goldsmith Inlet is such a system in which flow is
directed primarily along the channel. The implicit solution method of DYNLET
can efficiently calculate for shallow water and strong flows, for which an explicit
solution method would require a small time-step. DYNLET can be considered as
a "1-D plus" model in that it solves for current velocity at specified stations along
