Description 249-258
Hydrodynamic simulations of tidal currents in the Persian
Gulf are presented. Water surface level and velocity were
determined by a Kelvin wave expansion as a new hydrodynamic calibration tool for
estimating the dynamical field and flow patterns. This procedure, leading to
the Kelvin wave expansion, uses data of tidal constituents from co-tidal charts.
Results of the simplified model were compared with both measurements as well
with the results of a full reference hydrodynamic model to reveal that this calibration approach is a promotion not only
towards simplicity, but also towards accelerated computation.   Short-term
oil spill simulation was ascribed in the
present study. Comparison of the actual and simulated oil spill drift was found
acceptable, allowing for future application in risk assessment analysis in the
northern part of the Iranian waters.
