The Sanduao Bay is the bay with many of islands where the coastline is very winding with complex hydrodynamics and sediment transportation. Using a 2-D wave-current coupling hydrodynamic model of the Mike21 software package, the hydrodynamics condition on the Pingang Operation Area of Baima Port in the Sanduao Bay is simulatated. The results show that the current field in the berth is smooth that is beneficial to maintenance of water depth and reduction of siltation in berth. And the velocity in reclamation and dredging area is reduced less than 0.05m/s. the reclamation near the coastline and dredging in the berth make the velocity varied and the varying range is between 0.3m/s and 0.4m/s.

Tidal Stream Energy

In the present work, the tidal stream energy in surrounding coastal zones of ZTD is calculated. The tidal current velocity is gotten by three dimensional numerical modeling. The tidal current model is validated by measurement of tidal current observed in 4 points surrounding ZTD. The numerical results given by the tidal current model already shows that: the tidal current velocities given by the model agree with the measured velocities generally. The characteristics of tidal currents around ZTD are analyzed and the following tidal stream energy density is calculated. The maximum tidal stream energy flux of unit width occurs around the middle locations of ZTD southern areas.
