bottom friction
4.We use different coefficients of bottom friction, bottom roughness and horizontal turbulent friction for the numerical test. The results show that, when coefficient of bottom friction is 0.002 to 0.003, coefficient of bottom roughness is 1×10-3 to 2×10-3m and coefficient of horizontal turbulent friction is 1×102 to 5×103m2/s, the computed values of the tide and tidal currents agree generally with the observed ones.
5.The ki constituent in the Beibu Gulf is studied using different coefficients of bottom friction and horizontal turbulent friction, The results show that, when coefficient of bottom friction is 0. 002 to 0. 003 and coefficient of horizontal turbulent friction is 1 ×102 to 5 × 103 m2/s, the computed values agree generally with the observed one.
9.Applying a numerical model of combined wave refraction diffraction with bottom friction,the wave transformation processes in the ebb delta of Shuidong Bay,western Guangdong Province are simulated in this paper. The results show that the bottom friction induced by the platform of the ebb delta results in the obvious attenuation of the wave heights. The edge sand spits in both sides of the inlet could cause the refraction of incidence waves.
