Objectives
  • To develop finite-element based numerical model for the assessment of hydrodynamics of Thane creek
  • To validate the estimated hydrodynamics with field measurements (BARC to supply field data)
  • To estimate the suspended sediment siltation rate in the vicinity of BARC coast
  • To predict the tidal hydrodynamics and siltation characteristics for the future with projected sea-level rise conditions.
