| Zusammenfassung |
| The paper addresses the application of the nonlinear hydrodynamics model
(RANS (Reynolds-averaged Navier–Stokes) equations) in a wide semi-enclosed Mediterranean lagoon (Berre
lagoon), considering three natural forcing functions, i.e., sea tide
propagating through a long narrow channel, wind and runoff. Main attention
is focused to characteristic velocities (at free surface and bottom) and to
free surface elevation associated to each of these three mechanisms, with
special attention to the nearshore areas (i.e., in shallow water). The most
interesting result concerns wind effects which, due to Berre lagoon bathymetry,
give rise to downwind coastal jets, alongshore, in shallow water areas. Such
coastal jets were never mentioned before in Berre lagoon literature. |
