In the past years, Indonesian people put more attention to Sunda Strait located between Java and Sumatra Islands, one of the busiest straits occupied with residential, recreational, fisheries, transportation, industrial and mining activities. Previous works on numerical modelling of tidal flow hydrodynamics of the Sunda Strait have resulted in good agreement against field data; however, the calibration of the models used was not described in detail. This paper presents the process of setting up the model, extensive calibration, validation and prediction of tidal currents for the Sunda Strait. A two-dimensional tidal-driven model is constructed using Delft3D, an open-source developed by Deltares. Four different bathymetry datasets, four different boundary condition configurations, and various bed roughness values are used, and their suitability in predicting tidal water level and current are investigated. It is found that changing the bathymetry and boundary conditions improve the model validation significantly. GEBCO_2019 bathymetry dataset outperforms the Batnas, even though it has a coarser resolution. For boundary conditions, the combination of water level and current velocity results in a better validation compares to using water level or current velocity only. However, the bed roughness shows an insignificant influence in predicting tidal conditions. The averaged current velocity is lower at the Southern than the Northern side of the strait due to a larger cross-section, consequence of deeper water. High tidal currents of magnitude around 2 m.s-1 are seen at the bottleneck of the strait.
Indonesia is currently intensively developing its renewable energy resource and targets at least 23% by 2025. As an archipelago country, Indonesia has the potential to benefit from its abundant renewable energy resources from its offshore regions. However, the short tidal range of mixed semi-diurnal and the suitable tidal turbine capacity may hinder marine renewable energy development in Indonesian waters. This paper presents higher-order hydrodynamic numerical models to provide spatial information for tidal current resource assessment of the Patinti Strait. The present study applied the hydrographic and oceanographic method to produce input of the numerical model. Based on the selected simulation analysis, the highest current speed could be identified around Sabatang and Saleh Kecil Island with up to 2.5 m/s in P1 and 1.7 m/s in P4. Besides, the operational hours for the two observation points are 69% and 74.5%, respectively. The results indicate that this location is of prime interest for tidal turbine implementation as an energy source, for medium capacity (300 kW) and high capacity (1 MW).
It has been more than 50 years since the idea to construct the bridge of Sunda Strait was inspirited by Prof. Sedyatmo. This issued is very important due to accelerate the economic growth between Sumatera Island and Java Island which is known as the densest population in the Indonesia. However, until today the bridge is still not construct yet because the high budget and the lack of technical data are still being problems. One of the most important data is current condition along the Sunda Strait. Unfortunately, no one has been clearly studied about current condition along Sunda Strait. Therefore, the information about current condition would be completed to fulfil the lack of data and information. The RV Geomarine I, as a research vessel conducted the survey in October 2012 that one of the objectives is to get the impression about the current condition around the bridge plan. Attaching echo sounder of bathy 1500 to get the depth profile and applied the RD Instrument ADCP Mobile Workhorse Monitor 300 kHz to collect the real current data and analyze the current using numerical model by Mike 21 were carried out to describe the condition of the current around the bridge proposed. In addition, the detail flexible mesh of hydrodynamic model is applied along bridge plan to analyse the current condition that caused by seafloor morphology. Based on the ADCP data it would be seen that the highest velocity record of the current occurs at October 18th 2012 at line 19 with the value 2.63 m/sec. Nevertheless, the numerical model shown the highest current velocity occurs around the northwest of Sangiang Island where the speed attains more than 4.59 m/sec.Keywords: Seafloor morphology, Sunda Strait bridge, current condition, numerical model, the Sunda Strait Ide pembangunan jembatan di Selat Sunda telah ada lebih dari 50 tahun yang lalu, hal tersebut diinspirasikan oleh Prof. Sedyatmo. Isu tersebut sangat penting untuk mengakselerasi pertumbuhan ekonomi di antara Pulau Sumatera dan Pulau Jawa, dimana diketahui sebagai pulau yang memiliki populasi terpadat di Indonesia. Namun, hingga saat ini jembatan tersebut masih belum terbangun disebabkan oleh masalah keuangan, dan kurangnya data teknis penunjang. Salah satu data terpenting adalah data arus di Selat Sunda. Namun, tidak ada satupun yang secara khusus melakukan penyelidikan tentang arus di sepanjang Selat Sunda. Untuk itu, informasi tentang kondisi arus akan dilakukan untuk memenuhi kekurangan data dan informasi. KR Geomarin I, sebagai kapal riset telah melakukan penelitian pada bulan oktober 2012 dimana salah satu tujuannya adalah untuk mengetahui kondisi arus di sekitar rencana jembatan. Dengan menggunakan echousounder bathy 1500 untuk mendapatkan profil kedalaman dan RD Instrument ADCP Mobile Workhorse Monitor 300 khz untuk mengumpulkan data arus sesaat dan melakukan analisa arus di sekitar rencana jembatan menggunakan model numeric Mike 21. Detail flexible mesh di sepanjang rencana jembatan diaplikasikan pada model hidrodinamika untuk menganalisa kondisi arus di sekitar area tersebut. Berdasarkan hasil survey ADCP maka dapat diketahui nilai kecepatan air terbesar terhadi pada tanggal 18 Oktober 2012 pada lintasan 19 dengan nilai 2,63 m/det. Sementara, hasil model numeric menunjukkan nilai arus tertinggi terjadi di sekitar barat laut Pulau Sangiang dengan kecepatan lebih dari 4.59 m/det.

Potensi sumber daya mineral di pulau Kalimantan pada umumnya berada di hulu-hulu sungai yang relatif jauh dari pantai. Potensi ini pada umumnya telah dieksplorasi bahkan dieksploitasi, namun kendala yang umum dihadapi adalah pengangkutan hasil tambang tersebut. Keterbatasan sarana dan prasaran transportasi darat akibat kondisi alam yang berawa sehingga menyebabkan pilihan jatuh kepada transportasi sungai yang lebih murah efektif dan efisien. Kendala yang umum terjadi pada system transportasi melalui sungai adalah pendangkalan di alur masuk dan muara sungai, oleh karena itu diperlukan pengerukan untuk pendalaman alur pelayaran. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mempelajari perubahan morfologi akibat sedimen yang menyebabkan pendangkalan dan penyempitan pada muara Sungai Barito. Pendekatan yang digunakan untuk analisis perubahan morfodinamika dilakukan dengan bantuan simulasi model numerik dengan menggunakan software Delft3D. Berdasarkan simulasi model morfodinamika Delft 3D, maka dapat diketahui sedimentasi tertinggi terjadi pada areal lokasi sekitar muara Sungai Barito, dimana terjadi pendangkalan sampai sebesar 1,2 meter per-tahun. Sedangkan pada bagian selatan alur pelayaran terjadi penyempitan sebesar 300-400 meter per tahun. Hal ini menunjukkan bahwa kondisi morfologi sangat dipengaruhi oleh debit Sungai Barito.

Generally, the mineral potency have been explored and sometime exploited, however the most common problem in this system is how to transport of those reserves. The limitation of onland facilities and infrastructures due to swampy area caused the river transportation is the cheapest, affective and efficient choosen alternative. However, the most common constraints on river transportation systems are silting in the inlet and estuarine. Therefore the dredging is obviously important for deepening of the access channel. The aim of this study is to reveal morphological changes due to sediment transport that is causing silting and narrowing the area around the Barito estuarine. The numerical model using Delft3D is conducted to analyse the morphodynamic changing.Based on the Delft3D model simulation results, the highest sediment deposition occurs at a location near the Barito river estuary, where the sedimentation rate is up to 1.2 meter per year. In the southern part of the navigation canal, the canal width is reduced up to 300-400 meter per year. These indicate that the morphological process at this location highly influenced by the river discharge.
