  1. Three-Dimensional Hydrodynamic Modeling of Sediment Transport in San Francisco Bay Using SUNTANS By Yi-Ju Chou Collaborators: Sueann Lee, Vivien Chua, Oliver Fringer, Jeff Koseff, Stephen Monismith Environmental Fluid Mechanics Laboratory Stanford University http://stanvonog.com/?tag=oceanbeach

  2. Outline • Motivation • Model Framework • Hydrodynamic Validation • Sediment Module Development • Preliminary Results • Future Work

  3. Motivation • Development of a calibrated 3D SF-Bay sediment predictive and diagnostic tool for -- Ecological restoration -- Climate change -- Contaminant transport -- Management issues

  4. Model Framework • Stanford Costal Ocean Model – SUNTANS • Features -- Unstructured grid -- Wetting and drying -- High-resolution transport scheme

  5. Hydrodynamics Validation Grid resolution: horizontal 200 m in average; 50 m minimum 60 vertical layers (minimum dz = 0.9 m) Date: Jan 1st 2005~Jan 30th 2005 Open boundaries: Pacific Ocean & Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta Data source: bathymetry – National Geophysical Data Center fresh water inflow – DAYFLOW program (CDWR 1986) tidal forcing – 8 major tidal constituent measured at Fort Point (Courtesy by Vivien Chua)

  6. Hydrodynamics Validation Point San Pablo Benicia Dashed: SUNTANS predictions Solid: observations

  7. Sediment Module: Non-cohesive Sand • Sediment bottom BC: mass flux = Pk – Ws Cb • Channel Case Validation • Domain: 40,000 m x 100 m x 10 m (Initial) (L x W x H) • Grid: 400 x 2 x 20 • Time step: 15 s • Total time: 48,000 x 15 • Ws = -0.002 ms-1 • BC: no flux from the left; free flux at the right

  8. Time = 15 s Time = 90 s Time = 210 s Time = 435 s Time = 735 s Time = 1200 s

  17. Work Summary • SUNTANS-SED-SFBay features -- Unstructured -- Wetting and drying -- High resolution transport scheme -- Validated hydrodynamics for Jan 2005 -- Multi-layer mud bed -- Non-uniform sediment bed structures -- Simple wave model (US Corps Engineers) • Simulation Results -- SSC sensitive to settling velocity -- SSC less than field measurement; wave forcing?

  18. Model Challenge: 1. Sediment Properties • In-situ sediment properties measurement -- Erosion rate -- Critical shear stress -- Flocculation, hindering, settling velocity -- Missing properties of mud layers Sedflume Data Report San Francisco Bay Mudflats Sea Engineering, Inc.

  19. Fluid-mud suspension Hard bed erosion

  20. Balance of wave action density (e.g SWAN) Model Challenge: 2. Non-uniform Wind Field Significant wave height Wave orbital velocity: Ub Radiation stress Deposition Resuspension Stationary suspension (high conc.) Real-time SF Bay wind patterns (from http://www.met.sjsu.edu/cgi-bin/wind/windbin.cgi?x=309&y=289) Erosion Fluid mud Consolidation Under Consolidated Bed

  21. Information Gap Sediment-water interface • Proper boundary conditions for sediment erosion and deposition. • In-situ measure on mud layers. • Parameterization of small-scale bedforms (sand bed).
