(mentor) Massie, W.W. (mentor) Faculty Civil Engineering and Geosciences Department Hydraulic Engineering Programme Coastal and Offshore Engineering Group Date 1986-04-01 Abstract Chapter 2 gives information about MS4, its structure, its possibilities, and its limitations. More information can be found in the MS4 User's Handbook (Massie, 1985). Chapter 3 describes the time interpolation method used for tidal current data. By means of a least square method ellipses are fit in the souree data. Chapter 4 describes the use of spatially dependent data. Chapter 5 describes the nearest point method, a method that reduces the simulation run time when the simulation uses the data on the point nearest to the oil slick center. Chapter 6 describes the two dimensional linear interpolation method that can be used to interpolate input data between three data points. Chapter 7 discusses the nearest point method and the interpolation methods with a Poincaré wave and real tidal current data. Chapter 8 gives some ideas about a special interpolation method that can eventually be used when the distance between the data points is to big for proper interpolation.
