  21. TELEMAC Modeling System

  22. TELEMAC Modeling Work Achieved • A triangular mesh with a number of criteria was generated • The effect of the forcing parameters (Tide & Wind) on the current fields in the Gulf of Aqaba was studied. • The influence of these both factors on the local hydrodynamic (scalar velocity and water depth) was underlined.

  23. I- Mesh Generation:MATISSE • Criteria: 3000 m, 1000 m, 200 m, and 20 m. • Number of Elements: 24532

  24. Boundary Conditions • Upstream Boundary: Begins at boundary point number 1 and coordinates ( X=642127, Y=3110380), and ends at boundary point number 7 and coordinates (X= 659332.0 Y= 3113890). • Depth condition (open boundary with prescribed depth) • Velocity condition (open boundary with free velocity) • Coastline: Begins at boundary point number 7 (Global Number 65) and coordinates (X= 659332.0, Y= 3113890.), and ends at boundary point number 1 (Global Number 24) and coordinates (X= 642127.0, Y= 3110380). • Depth condition (closed boundary ”wall”) Coastline Upstream Boundary

  25. Description of Scenarios Scenario I: TIDE Three different Simulations were performed for the periods of : March, June and August. The simulation time was three days corresponding to six tides for each month. Scenario II: TIDE & WIND • The same simulations performed in the first scenario were repeated taking into account the effect of wind. • The simulations were performed for a period of three days.

  26. Hydrodynamic Results: RUBENS

  27. Scenario I: Tide • March Flood Currents Produced From Rising Tides

  28. Scenario I: Tide • March Flood Currents Produced From High Tides

  29. Scenario I: Tide • March Ebb Currents Produced From Falling Tides

  30. Scenario II: Tide & Wind • March Wind has more effect on the flow direction than the tide effect

  31. Scenario II: Tide & Wind • March Wind has more effect on the flow direction than the tide effect

  32. Scenario II: Tide & Wind • March Wind has more effect on the flow direction than the tide effect

  33. Eddy currents produced at different locations in the Gulf of Aqaba during the month of March.

  34. TELEMAC Modeling Current Step: Calibration/Validation the data used in the calibration step were obtained from the Marine Science Station, these data include: • Measured currents (intensity & direction) at one location during the months of March (from 06/03 to 31/03), June (from 01/06 to 22/06) and August (from 01/08 to 22/08) of the year 2000. The projected coordinate of that location in UTM is: X=690861 Y= 3260258. • Measured currents (intensity & direction) at two locations during the month of March 1999. The projected coordinates of those locations are: X=684850 Y= 3254935 and X= 651992 Y= 3135229. For the first location, the available measured currents are only for 22 hrs period during the fifth day of March. For the second location, it is for 30 hrs period during the second and third day of March. • The water depth at which the measured currents were taken was 35m. • Description of the bottom of the Gulf of Aqaba. It was known from the MSS that the bottom of the Aqaba Gulf consists of more than 90% Silicate and the remaining part is Carbonate.

  35. Location of the points at which measured currents for the year 2000 and 1999 are available.

  36. TELEMAC Modeling Current Step: Calibration/Validation Questions: • By comparing the simulated currents with the measured ones, it is appeared that there is a difference of two order of magnitude between the two comparable currents, Why ?! • Which parameter are we going to calibrate?

  37. TELEMAC Modeling Next Step • To validate the model • To compute the pollutant evolution in the Gulf. The pollutant to be studied is the dissolved nitrogen in the form of Nitrate (NO3ˉ). • The water quality data is not available till now

  38. Land Use Change ModelLUC

  39. LUC Model: Work Achieved • A geographical domain have been defined (ASEZ border) • Two Land use maps based on CORINE classification have been prepared using SPOT images (10m-coloured). • The land use map are for two periods : 1990 and 2003.

  40. Aqaba Special Economic Zone Border (ASEZA)

  41. Land Use Map For The Year 1990

  42. Land Use Map For The Year 2003

  43. WATERWARE Modeling System

  44. WATERWARE Modeling System Work Achieved • Define the application domain within which the system is to be applied. The application domain will be ASEZA area. • Identify the network objects within the ASEZA border. A network objects are represented by: • Type (Start, Demand, Confluence, Diversion or Supply) • Location (X,Y,Z) • Time series data for: • The daily pumping rate from wells that supply Aqaba from 1998-2003 • Daily water consumption for all sectors at each demand node from 1998-2003 • Daily water consumption for sectors at each demand node from 1998-2003

  45. Q: Where is the List of Scenario Button??
