DEPTH AVERAGED MODELLING OF CHARACTERISTICS OF THE ARABIAN GULF
The Arabian Gulf is a large and relatively shallow water basin. The motion of water in the Gulf is mainly driven by tidal fluctuations in the Strait of Hormuz. Other factors such as wind and evaporation also affect the water motion. In this paper, the DIVAST (Depth Integrated Velocities And Solute Transport) model has been used to simulate tidal and wind induced hydrodynamic process for the entire Arabian Gulf at a pre-described period in time. The water surface elevations and depth averaged velocities compare well with the predictions given in the Admiralty Tide Tables. The flow patterns for flood and ebb tides have also been simulated and compared with available hydrodynamic data.
