HYDRODYNAMIC MODEL OF MEYDAN CREEK DEVELOPMENT WITH TELEMAC-2D

An extensive waterway system is proposed to be developed in Dubai, United Arab Emirates to connect the existing creek back to Gulf through artificial canals. Along the banks of these canals,many real estate and infrastructures projects are also proposed to be developed. Meydan Creek isone among such developments and is to be located as indicated in Fig. 1. The objective of the present study is to develop a localized numerical model to estimate the effect of Meydan Creek project on the tidal currents. The details of software, model setup and methodology adopted for the study are presented in this paper
