Numerical Modeling of the Tidal Current Movement of the Baima Port, China

The Sanduao Bay is the bay with many of islands where the coastline is very winding with complex hydrodynamics and sediment transportation. Using a 2-D wave-current coupling hydrodynamic model of the Mike21 software package, the hydrodynamics condition on the Pingang Operation Area of Baima Port in the Sanduao Bay is simulatated. The results show that the current field in the berth is smooth that is beneficial to maintenance of water depth and reduction of siltation in berth. And the velocity in reclamation and dredging area is reduced less than 0.05m/s. the reclamation near the coastline and dredging in the berth make the velocity varied and the varying range is between 0.3m/s and 0.4m/s.
