Description
Summary:An increase in floating debris especially in coastal region has been a great concern as its presence affects marine structures and increase morbidity of marine life. Eulerian and Lagragian method has been widely used to predict the transport of traces or particles especially in particle-tracking of debris. These particle-tracking models were applied to large scale oceanic models to understand the migration pattern of floating debris. The numerical modelling of floating debris is challenging and is still an active area of research. This paper provides a brief review of works that have been done on floating debris migration using state of the art numerical model.
