Mass water transfer and water-level fluctuations in Farur Island, Persian Gulf

In this paper, a theoretical model is presented for coastal flows where parameters such as water level fluctuation, current, and mass transfer on the shallow shores of Farur Island are discussed. Parameters used include uniform coastal area (constant depth), interval wave breaks, and the slope of the coast after constant depth and water depth during wave break. There are two very important fractions in this context: constant depth relative to the balance between pressure gradient, and tension induced by the wave associated with the current on the shallow coral reef. The average of water transfer obtained 0.277 Sverdrup which was more in the north and northeast of Farur Island and less in northwest and southwest parts. A mean sea level variation up to 77 cm was calculated. Regarding the different slops over the study area, the vertical shears around the Island have been considered. It is notable that the water level fluctuation and transfer have been calculated after changing the parameters to non-dimensional and in dimensional analysis frame, and also based on the results derived from previous studies.
