Qeshm Channel is a shallow and narrow waterway located between Qeshm Island and the mainland in the vicinity of Hormuzgan Province, Islamic Republic of Iran. This channel is important because of its economic, industrial, fisheries and navigation role it plays as well as environmental issues it presents in the region. A prognostic study was performed to simulate currents in this channel, using C...

Surface currents play a major role in the distribution of contaminants, the connectivity of marine populations, and can influence the vertical and horizontal distribution of nutrients within the water column. This paper aims to determine the effects of sea breeze-wind patterns on the climatology of the surface currents on the continental shelf surrounding Rottnest Island, WA Australia. The alte...

it is proposed to use a single base platform in the persian gulf considering its low depth and more appropriate environmental conditions in comparison to north sea and mexico gulf where this kind of platform is very popular. the pile of platform is responsible for transmission of environmental loads resulted from waves, currents, wind and dead loads to foundation of platform. using sacs 5.3 sof...

Bidirectional flows in a river system can occur under stratified flow conditions and in addition to creating significant errors in discharge estimates, the upstream propagating currents are capable of transporting contaminants and affecting water quality. Detailed field observations of bidirectional flows were made in the Chicago River in Chicago, Illinois in the winter of 2005-06. Using multip...

The depth average module of NASIR finite volume solver was applied to study the tide induced currents in Khowr-e-Musa estuary. The model computes water level variation and velocity components in horizontal plane solving depth average continuity and momentum equations considering the hydrostatic pressure distribution. The software takes into account the bed and wall geometric complexities and re...

  The effects of water current increment on rainbow trout ( Oncorhynchus mykiss ) culture were investigated   during a 35 day experiment. Fish weighing 5.5 g were stocked in aquarium tanks. Four different water speeds (0, 3.5, 7, 10.5 cm/s) were provided for each treatment in three replicates. These different currents water were provided by reusing outlet water of each culture unit...

The proposed work investigates quantitatively the interaction between wave, currents and seabed sediments in shallow water over a bed characterized by heterogeneous, mud-dominated sediments. The long-term goal of is to develop an approach to characterize accurately the state of a muddy sea bed, based on minimal prior information about bed sediment, and remote observations of surface waves and c...
