Abstract: (4899 Views) |
| Chabahar Bay is a semi-enclosed and shallow bay in southeastern Iran and is strongly influenced by the monsoon conditions. The three-dimensional FVCOM model was used to study the hydrodynamic conditions of Chabahar Bay. For this purpose, a horizontal grid with 6290 triangular elements and a vertical grid with 10 layers of sigma were created. The model was implemented in baro-clinical fashion; NCEP data and HYCOM model outputs were used to account for open surface and boundary layer impressions. Water level and flow velocity verifications show acceptable agreement with field data. The average annual and depth of flow velocity is 0.1 m / s and the dominant pattern of rotation in winter and autumn is single-celled and clockwise, and in spring and summer it is two-celled and consists of one dominant cell with clockwise rotation and one cell with counterclockwise rotation. |
