Abstract
The numerical simulation of tidal current in the Kurushima Straits is performed by three-dimensional non-hydrostatic model based on the Navier-Stokes equations. The program cord is CADMAS-SURF/3D. Several islands exist in the straits,and straits have the complicated topography consisted by three water ways. The characteristics of tidal current in the straits are reproduced by the simulations, and the simulation results are analyzed. Weak current area is formed behind the islands in the strong current, and the streaks are formed along the lines of shear flow near the boundaries of islands. The large energy of turbulent flow and the downward flow is generated along the streaks. The Karman Vortex, which period is 20 minutes, is generated in the area behind the island.
