Integral Tide-Surge-Wave Model of the Yellow Sea for Integral Tide-Surge-Wave Model of the Yellow Sea for

Abstract

Numerical simulations of tide and tidal current for the effect of the new port on Saemangeum area were carried outbased on finely resolved meshes and integral tide-surge-wave model of the whole Yellow Sea and also for a compactmodel optimized for the field operation. The resulting modelling system can be used for hindcasting (prediction) thetide-surge-wave coupled environments at complex coastline, shallow water and fine-grained sediment area like areasaround Korean Peninsula. We investigated and discussed the changes of tidal residual current, maximum bottomshear stress and tidal energy dissipation due to the new port for Saemangeum area where the construction of newlarge port is being built.
