Abstract

An analysis method is developed to evaluate countermeasure options against fairway shoaling for Yubetsu fishing port, which is located on Okhotsk coastal region. According to the field observation results, the discriminating ocean current, which is so-called Soya Current, could affect on the flow field even in the surf zone. In this study, the ocean current is successfully implemented to the existing nearshore current model and the results give a reasonable agreement with the observed flow conditions. Moreover, the suspended sediment transport model is applied and gives better agreement with the observed bathymetric changes especially in evaluating the scours around the port facilities.
