Tidal Analysis of Sea Reclamation Project in Dalian Laohutan Bay

摘要

A tidal analysis model, Mike 21 HD FM is utilized to simulate the flow field of Dalian Laohutan Bay during the sea reclamation project to assess the impacts of the project on flow fields and water quality. The good agreement between the predicted flow fields and the field measured data indicates the model is accurate. The validated model is applied to investigate the effect of the sea reclamation project in Dalian Laohutan Bay. A series of simulations are executed for the existing and planned topographies of bay according to the well-planned scenarios. Predicted flow fields and parameters including influx and discharge from different scenarios are compared to select the scenario that can achieve sound engineering design to reduce impact on water quality due to the sea reclamation project.
