STUDY OF DESIGN WATER LEVEL ELEVATIONS IN HOTSPOTS OF HORMOZGAN COASTLINE

In this paper, design water level elevations due to wave, tide, wind and barometric pressure are calculated in hotspots including the ports of Kong, Lengeh, Shahid Rajaiee, Kuhmobarak, Sirik and Khuran. The effect of global water level rise is also considered. This modelling is performed utilizing MIKE21 developed by DHI Water and Environment. In order to calculate wave and tide setup, comprehensive and exhaustive studies of wave propagation and tidallevels modelling, which have been performed in last parts of Monitoring and Modeling Project of Coastal Zones of Hormozgan, are used. Also, wind-induced water level variations model is developed to calculate wind setup in various return periods. The results of the study present values of setup due to above mentioned phenomena which can be used in marine structures designs
