| description | The coastline of Shantou is tortuous, while the hydrodynamic environment is complicated. In this paper, the hydrodynamic model is established by the FVCOM (Finite Volume Coastal Ocean Model); the open boundary conditions such as water level, river, and wind field are the input; and the model is verified by tidal harmonic function. According to the previous research, the typhoon wind field with a 10-year return period is selected for storm surge simulation. When there is a bank, the accumulated water on the land cannot enter the ocean due to the block of the bank but accumulates on the inner side of the bank, resulting in higher accumulated water, but less than 0.5 m. In the aspect of sediment deposition, a sediment transport model is established to analyze the sediment deposition in Shantou Port and its surrounding waters. Some reasonable suggestions are put forward for the sediment deposition in Shantou. According to the simulation results, the following conclusions can be drawn: (1) In the case of typhoon storm surge in the return period of 10 years, the bank can effectively protect the inland. Still, accumulated water will collect near the bank. (2) The offshore water level will rise by 0.4 m after adding a bank. (3) The sediment in Shantou Bay mainly comes from the ocean sediment caused by tides, and the largest sedimentation occurs in the main channel. |
