Computational Techniques of 2D Tidal Flow in Estuaries and Bays

- Some problems in the numerical calculation of tidal flow in estuaries and bays, such as distribution bed roughness, relationship between model moving boundary and water volume balance, remedy of certain shortage under open boundary conditions, smooth transfer of the controlling message for the inner boundaries of nested model, can not be solved usually by means of the fundamental equations and computing mode adopted in the numerical model, but can be done by the measures which not only satisfy the physical features but also are convenient for operation. Based on the calculated samples of some areas of Modaomen, Lingdingyang and Huangmaohai of the Pearl River Estuary, and Shuidong Bay (a typical barrier- lagoon tidal channel) in Guangdong Province, method and process of calculation for the above mentioned problems are briefly presented in this paper.
