文摘本文用一个数学模型和两个物理模型相结合的方法研究加利福尼亚 Buhhe Point(Humboldt 湾)的岸线侵蚀问题.利用 Humboldt 湾的垂向积分流体力学模式计算涨潮水位和落潮水位,并以原型观测资料验证。以这些潮汐资料作为二个物理模型的边界条件.根据后报资料用比尺1:100的模型确定 Buhno Point 附近的局地波况,用这些潮汐和波浪资料在1:50模型中模拟 Buhne Point 1966年——1980年间的岸线变化,研究使该地岸线稳定的方案。在物理模型中用变化范围(幅度)较大的潮汐和波浪资料做实验.选出使岸线不受侵蚀的最佳方案,于1984年在 Buhne Point 已实施了该方案,而且如模型研究预报的一样.目前这个方案成功地防止了岸线侵蚀。
