The E ect of Barriers on The Tidal Range in Estuaries
نویسنده
چکیده
Numerical simulations of the shallow water equations are used to study the e ect of topographic barriers on the tidal range in estuaries. The results show that the nonlinear advection terms in the momentum equations play very little role, and that the interaction between the tide and the topographic barriers is mostly due to the bottom friction, which is represented by the usual quadratic Chezy law.

Sensitivity Analysis of the Dimensionless Parameter VU based on Morphological Characteristics of some Estuaries on the Northern Borders of the Persian Gulf and Oman Sea
Estuaries and bays are areas with a wide range of hydrodynamic and morphological phenomena. The existence of this diversity in environmental processes will lead to complex and sometimes unknown interactions in their structure. Understanding the behavior and environmental conditions of these beaches will improve the attitude of coastal users for better management of these areas. Many classificat...
متن کاملRemote Sensing of Tidal Situation by Monitoring Changes in Suspended Sediment Concentration in Surface Waters
Collecting information on suspended sediments concentration (SSC) in coastal waters and estuaries is vital for proper management of coastal environments. Traditionally, SSC used to be measured by time consuming and costly point measurements. This method allows the accurate measurement of SSC only for a point in space and time. Remote sensing from air-borne and space-borne sensors have proved to...

Today, the widespread use of fossil fuels is caused many problems in the world, which include: Ozone depletion, the increase carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, growing recognition of climate change impacts and decreasing fossil fuel resources. These issues have led to an increased interest in the mass generation of electricity from renewable sources such tidal energy. The Khowr-e Musa Estuary, l...
متن کاملتاثیر عوامل هندسی بر جزر و مد در خورهای طویل
Tidal behavior of esturies is more complicated than open seas. It arises from the effects of geometrical parameters. Also other parameter such as wave reflection from the end of estuaries, sieche, bed friction and coriolis forces cause the water level changes in the esturies to be several times as in the open sea. This paper evalutes the effects of gemetric parameters (such as length, wide and ...
متن کاملDistribution and morphological characteristics of Exopalaemon styliferus and Periclimenes brevicarpalis larva species (Caridea: Palaemonidae) in the estuaries of Bahmanshir and Arvand Rivers in the northern part of Persian Gulf
The survey on distribution of family Palaemonidae was taken place from March 2011 to October 2012 in vicinity of Bahmanshir and Arvand estuaries in north of the Persian Gulf. Planktonic larvae of palaemonidae were collected using 0.45 m diameter plankton net with 300μm mesh size monthly horizontal towing 100 meter. The larval stages illustrated and described in detail for Exopalaemon styliferus...
