Abstract: (8848 Views)
The goal of this study was to simulate the hydrodynamics induced by con-current wind and tide loading in the southern part of the Persian Gulf. The model was calibrated with a 28 day lunar cycle, in which both neap and spring tide were modeled. The model boundaries were forced using tidal water levels obtained from the United Hydrographic Tide Tables. Wind data extracted from PERGOS database was used as input to the model. Current data recorded at Ghasha buoy, as well as current and water level data from PERGOS database were used for calibration of the model. The error in water level prediction is typically less than 25% of tidal range. Currents were also predicted with accuracy of 0.1 m/s (95% of time). Model results are insensitive to variations of calibration parameters over the recommended range, which demonstrates that the model is robust and can be used with confidence.
