Simulation on marine currents at Midia Cape-Constanta area using computational fluid dynamics method

Abstract

The work in volves as sess ing of the ma rine cur rent re gime in the north west of the Black Sea, Midia Cape-Constanta area. The area of in ter est is cho sen due its ex isting fea tures, us ing ma rine cur rents data (di rec tion and speed) within the CFD to de ter mine the dis tri bu tion of ve loc i ties and pres sures. The study on the dis tri bu tion of ve loc i ties and pres sures, ac cord ing to lo cal hy dro-me te o ro log i cal char ac ter is tic el e ments, can be used for iden ti fy ing the risk ar eas for nav i ga tion and ex ist ing hydro-tech ni cal con struc tion in dus try. Mod el ling re sults us ing the CFD anal y sis shows the cur rents ve loc ity val ues, pres sures and turbulences of the in ves ti gated ma rine re gion. The model can be used in the anal y sis and the coast line changes as well as in risk as sess ment for hy drau lic struc tures. Ad di tional pa ram e ters into the model, such as the sea wave char ac ter is tics, aim to pro vide an in di ca tion of the poten tial hy dro-dy namic power that is avail able at a de ter mined lo ca tion of in ter est.

Oceanographic research for a future tourist marina on the Romanian Black Sea coast

“…In the context of developing a touristic marina on the Black Sea coast, oceanographic research becomes essential for several reasons [3,4]. Firstly, understanding the quality of the seawater is crucial to assess its suitability for recreational activities, such as swimming, diving and water sports.…”

“…Firstly, understanding the quality of the seawater is crucial to assess its suitability for recreational activities, such as swimming, diving and water sports. It involves monitoring the presence of pollutants, chemicals, and microplastics to minimize the potential risk to both human health and the marine ecosystem [3,4]. Secondly, studying the biodiversity of the Black Sea is vital for maintaining the ecological balance and protecting vulnerable species and habitats.…”

Black sea marine litter pollution related to naval operations

“…The important freshwater intake brought by a large number of rivers, including Danube, Dnieper, Southern Bug, Dniester, Don, and Kuban. These rivers are, also responsible for an essential introduction of pollutants including marine litter [4][5][6].…”
