Abstract
In this paper various semi-implicit discretization methods for the equations of large scale free surface flows are outlined. The Eulerian-Lagrangian discretization of advection and diffusion is introduced. Alternating direction, one time level semi-implicit and fully implicit splitting methods are discussed for 2D and 3D hydrostatic flows. An application to the hydrodynamics of the Lagoon of Venice is also presented.
