Applied mathematics for engineering sciences, Proc. 2nd Fr.-Chil. Symp., Santiago de Chile/Chile 1989, 145-154 (1991).
Summary: [For the entire collection see Zbl 0742.00068.]
We present a two-dimensional steady barotropic model with real bathimetry for the coastal circulation in the zone of the Arauco Gulf including the mouth of the Bío-Bío river, and then we give its variational formulation, obtaining thereafter the corresponding approximate solution by finite elements.
