Lagrangian Trajectory Simulation of Floating Objects in the State of São Paulo Coastal Region

Article Preview

Abstract:

In this work a computational model is presented in order to simulate the trajectory of objects near the Ilhabela island region, in São Paulo coastline, Brazil. The MOHID platform (MOdelagem HIDrodinâmica - Hydrodynamics Modelling) was used with the downscalling technique used to obtain local hydrodynamic currents at local scale. Two different applications are tested, the first is the hypothetical trajectory of a dead cetacean specimen drifting that could have happened in fact if it was not arrested to a more adequate spot near Ilhabela island in November, 2017, and the second is the simulation for the drift of floating objects that resulted from an accidental release of containers at the Port of Santos in August, 2017. The use of these technologies has great potential for researchers interested to simulate different drift occurrences near the Brazilian costal region.
