The model has been applied to several coastal and estuarine areas and it has showed its ability to simulate complex features of the flows. Several different coastal areas have been modelled with MOHID in the framework of research and consulting projects.

Estuaries

• Tagus, Portugal (Portela, 1996; Pina et al., 2000; Pina, 2001; Braunschweig et al., 2003; Pina et al., 2003; Leitão, 2002; Fernandes, L., 2005; Saraiva et al., 2005)
• Guadiana, Portugal (Cunha et al., 2000)
• Douro, Portugal (Pina et al., 2003)
• Sado, Portugal (Martins et al., 2001)
• Westerschelde, The Netherlands (Cancino and Neves, 1999);
• Gironde, France (Cancino and Neves, 1999)
• Carlingford, Ireland (Leitão, 1997)

Coastal lagoons

• Ria Formosa (Martins et al., 2004)
• Ria de Aveiro (Trancoso et al., 2005; Saraiva, 2005).

Coastal systems

• Estoril Coast (Fernandes, R., 2005)
• Ria de Vigo (Taboada et al., 1998; Montero, 1999; Montero et al., 1999)
• Ría de Pontevedra (Taboada et al., 2000; Villarreal et al., 2000)

Ocean

• Algarve coastal circulation (Leitão, 2007)
• Mediterranean outflow (Riflet, 2007)
• Portuguese coastal current (Coelho, 2002)
• Slope current along the European Atlantic shelf break (Neves et al., 1998)
• Mediterranean Sea (Taboada, 1999)
• Alboran Sea (Santos, 1995)

Reservoirs

• Monte Novo (Braunschweig, 2001)
• Roxo (Braunschweig, 2001)
