Model Study of the Water Exchange in a Shallow Bay
Abstract:
Both the tidal prism and the water exchange duration can be used as the index of examining the residence time of the pollutants in a semi-enclosed bay, and it is significant to predict the long-term variation of water quality. A 3-dimensional coastal circulation model is used to reproduce the tidal regime in the Shenhu Bay. Simulated tidal currents are examined first, and the then the tidal prism is also compared to observations. Based on the validated simulations, the water exchange duration is further estimated by means of the numerical experiment. The simulations show that the half-exchange and 80%-exchange time are about 14 and 30 d, respectively.
