Abstract

Tidal Currents are one of the important hydro oceanography components for studying coastal characteristics. The purpose of this study is to find out the types of tides and tidal current patterns at the fuel oil terminal in Baubau City (Buton). The method used to determine the speed of tidal currents and tidal type models using SMS (Surface Water Modelling System) applications with ADCIRC models taking into account the data of bathymetry and some components of the tidal currents in Baubau city Fuel oil Terminal area. The results obtained in the study showed that the type of ups and downs that occur in the Baubau fuel oil terminal is Mixed Tidal Leaning to Double Daily. The Highest Sea Level Elevation of the least-squares method is 1.07 m and Lowest at -1.07 m, on SMS modeling ADCIRC Highest Sea Level Elevation ranges from 0.78 m and the lowest at -1.02 m. The result of current speed using SMS ADCIRC modelling obtained the highest tidal current speed value in Baubau Fuel oil Terminal which is 0.63 m/s and the lowest current speed of 0.01 - 0.06 m/s. The direction of the current at low tide towards the dominant tide to the Southwest while at high tide towards the tide dominant current to the South.
