On the reef scale hydrodynamics at Sodwana Bay, South Africa
Atish Deoraj, Calvin Wells, Justin Pringle, & Derek Stretch (2022), Environmental Fluid Mechanics. doi.org/10.1007/s10652-022-09896-9
Researchers at University of KwaZulu-Natal gathered field data and used FLOW-3D HYDRO to model reef scale hydrodynamics at Two Mile Reef in Sodwana Bay, contributing a unique approach to the body of research into the flow factors that drive coral reef characteristics and growth.
FLOW-3D HYDRO was made available through the FLOW-3D Academic Program.
To date, there have been no attempts to model detailed reef scale hydrodynamics at Sodwana Bay. The results from such a model can be used to explore how reef scale flows affect coral reef health. In this study, we implement a step-wise approach to develop an LES model that can be used to explore the hydrodynamics at Sodwana Bay. We focus here on the hydrodynamics of the Agulhas currents while excluding the effects of waves and tides at this initial stage. This approach provides a basis for future studies by presenting the first LESs of the flow and mixing at the coral reefs of Sodwana Bay.
