Extreme Wave Modelling and Hydrodynamic Model

The general methodology employed in the studies can be summarized as follows:

• The first HD model of the Arabian Sea was developed, then calibrated with available water level measurements from the project site,
• The calibrated model was used to simulate current fields in the project area and coupled with the AD model, which was set up for the same area,
• The AD model used initial mixing results from the diffuser design as source input and far-field transport of the plume was simulated. The salinity behavior and thermal plumes were investigated.

This cascaded approach provided both speed and control for the engineers.

All the modeling work has been carried out by ARTI Proje, utilizing the state-of-the-art numerical modeling software MIKE21 of DHI.
