A three dimensional boundary fitted coordinate hydrodynamic model, part I: Development and testing

The history of Jonsmod 1981–2006

“…There was no really local flavour this time, although the level of sophistication of some of the modelling reflected the work of the Institut für Meereskunde, University of Hamburg, which hosted the conference. The stratified modelling was more prevalent, but the stand-out paper in the published volume has to be the account of boundaryfitted co-ordinates by Swanson et al (1989). This was a step change in sophistication and one of the first papers to use the technique.…”

“…Our antipodean friends returned and there was talk of a Domsnoj group that never emerged, unfortunately; perhaps the suggestion had more to do with the local beer/lager. Although the paper by Swanson et al (1989) contained authors from "across the pond", in 1990, the Jonsmod community experienced the first real influx of speakers from the USA and Canada. This brought an emphasis on FEM, with Lynch et al (1992) and Walters (1992) being prominent.…”
