Description
In this project by using Delft3D software, the phenomenon of tides by using amplitude information of water level in the entire Persian Gulf and part of Oman Sea modeled to identify and predict the tide. Comparing the simulation results of tidal amplitude information from water level measurements in Souza and Bandar Lengeh stations indicating a very good fit of the model and demonstrated that the phenomenon of tides is predictable. The tide model set as base of sediment transport simulation. In this study, Badiee et al.`s Wave model output has analyzed Statistically in order to identify the dominant coastal waves and the characteristics of the waves height was classified according to their probability. Studies of analyzing waves And evaluation of the sediment grain size and sediment type, cause that desired coastline divided into three smaller regions because of different wave climates and diverse sediment grain sizes, So that every regions has its own wave climate, sediment grain size and sediment type and finally wave rose of each regions was drawn. Combined effects of tide and dominant waves investigated on the coastline sediment transport pattern. Results of sediment transport simulation indicates that dominant direction of sediment movement is from west to east and from Eastern side of the Qeshm Island to the West side, The intensity and velocity Variations of Long shore and cross shore sediment is reduced that Badiee et al.`s study confirm these results.
