| Research Abstract |
According to the field surveys in Bujang Estuary conducted by USM in the north-west side of Malaysia Peninsular provide some interesting physical features peculiar to mangrove estuaries ; namely, asymmetric pattern of tidal flow observed in an estuary mouth, stratification due to freshwater inflow and vertical mixing pattern in creeks depending on the tidal amplitude and rainfall especially in wet season ; and inundation of overflowing water from creeks into swamps, and vice versa. The Bujang Estuary is one of branches Sungai Merbok Estuary, and it is about 4 km with 18 bends and 50 m wide and 8 m deep at the mouth. Therefore, the scale of Bujang Estuary is very useful in field surveys. Based on these observation results, a coupling two-dimensional barotropic flow model (DIVAST) and three-dimensional baroclinic flow modelling (ODEM) in a creek and swamp system are developed and examined for integrating the transport processes of water, substances and nutrient. The proposed model is found to be good agreement with observation results in Bujang Estuary.
Alter examining the its potential, the model is also applied to improve understanding of physical processes quantitatively.
