Configuration of Mike21 for the simulation of nearshore storm waves, currents and sediment transport - Brackley Bight, Prince Edward Island / G.K. Manson. : M183-2/6736E-PDF

The North Shore of Prince Edward Island (PEI) is a sandy, multi-barred coast with limited fetch in most directions but open to the Gulf of St. Lawrence for several hundred kilometres to the north. In the fall and winter, storms tracking northwards across PEI and into the Gulf can bring sustained storm waves which generate currents capable of transporting sand in both the along- and across-shore directions. Mike21 is a commercially available combined wave, hydrodynamic and sand transport model that may be utilised to improve understanding of contemporary sand transport and possible implications of changing climate in the Brackley Bight area of the North Shore. This manuscript describes the development of a Mike21 model domain and optimal configurations of the Mike21 Spectral Wave, Hydrodynamic and Sand Transport modules appropriate to the study area. ...
