New River Inlet DRI: Observations and Modeling of Flow and Material Exchange
Abstract
The main objectives of our FY12 effort were to: 1) measure the intra-tidal three dimensional flow velocity distribution; 2) measure the concurrent suspended sediment concentration (the accompanying sediment transports will be obtained by multiplying the concentration with the simultaneously measured velocity); 3) extract the tidal flow circulation with Delft 3D to retrieve the residual flow circulation associated with the forcing by waves, wind and density differences; 4) verify Delft3D in predicting the complex velocity field and concurrent sediment transports under a range of environmental conditions (i.e. waves, wind and potentially stratification).
