COAST 3D - Validation of PISCES using data from Teignmouth pilot experiment

This report describes the application of the HR Wallingford model, PISCES to the Pilot Experiment at the COAST3D site at Teignmouth, UK. PISCES was used to simulate conditions measured during the Teignmouth Pilot Experiment, in which an extensive array of wave and current meters was deployed around the seaward side of the mouth of the Teign Estuary. The modelled site is complex with a headland and an estuary producing strong flows through the estuary mouth. PISCES was used to model a spring tide with no waves, a near-neap tide during a storm and a wave-only case.
