The reclamation of land for making an island in a bay close to a big city sometimes causes the water pollution in the rear area between the island and the coastal line because of the water stagnancy. It is effective to generate one-directional current (a residual current) around the artificial island to promote the water exchange .The concept that the change of roughness according to the direction of tidal current produces the one directional avaraged current has been introduced. In this study, the most effective figure and arrangement of artificial roughness were made clear by carrying out experiments.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
