Título :	A 3-DIMENSIONAL FINITE ELEMENT MODEL OF THE CIRCULATION IN THE BAY OF BISCAY CONSIDERING TIME-VARYING WIND FIELDS

Resumen :	The goal of this work is to study the wind-induced circulation in the Bay of Biscay using a stabilized 3-dimensional finite element model, HELIKE1,2. This model is based upon the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations for geophysical fluids. It uses the Coriolis acceleration, turbulence, bottom friction, wind stresses, density gradient (baroclinic term) and free surface height (barotropic term). The latter is obtained by means of a kinematic equation, without the need of height-averaging. A stabilization method allows for the use of the same shape functions for velocity and pressure.
