NUMERICAL MODEL INVESTIGATION OF SELECTED TIDAL INLET-BAY SYSTEM CHARACTERISTICS

William N. Seelig, Robert M. Sorensen

Open full text 11 citations

Abstract

A spatially integrated one-dimensional numerical model of inletbay hydraulics has been combined with a simple sediment transport model to investigate selected tidal inlet-bay system characteristics. A parametric study has been performed using the models to determine the effect of various factors on the net direction and order of magnitude of inlet channel flow and sediment transport. Factors considered include astronomical tide type, storm surge height and duration, variation in bay surface area, time-dependent channel friction factor, and the addition of a second inlet connecting the bay and sea.
