Executive Summary | In the Bisan-seto strait channel, the responsible area of the development and maintenance was expanded to 12 times in December 2009. In the channel and the surrounded area, there are many sand waves which are consecutive sand bank of several meters of wave height and tens of meters of wave length. The sand waves cause the channel trouble by the water depth becoming shallow locally. In this study, the prediction model of sand wave growth is developed in the given external condition of the water depth, the current velocity and the bottom grain size. |
