Abstract
A two-dimensional finite-element model using depth-averaged Navier-Stokes equations with primitive variables is used to simulate flow in Kanmon Strait, an important navigation channel in the Japanese archipelago. It is concluded from this study that the strait, like all narrow water bodies connecting two open seas, reflects most of the energy of any wave propagating from one open sea and allows very small part of the energy to be transmitted through the narrow channel Hence, a steep water surface gradient is generated inside the strait producing high velocities. The model, like other depth-averaged models, reasonably predicts water level and velocity direction and phase. However, they underpredict velocity values because they do not take into account effect of secondary currents.
