【 摘 要 】

In this work contribution of wind and waves on the water exchange through flushing culverts between the marina and surrounding water body have been investigated. The hybrid modelling technique was used. Results of culvert discharge, produced by waves on physical model, were implemented in 3D circulation model. Using circulation model, the optimum flushing culverts position in body of breakwater was defined for marinas with hypothetical geometry, characteristic for Croatian Adriatic Sea. The model was forced by wind from 8 directions and velocities 1-5 Bf. Furthermore, numerical simulations were also done for a real - world marina – the Ičići marina. The real breakwater geometry and hydrographic conditions (depths, tides, sea temperatures and salinity) were included. The analysis results show that the flushing culverts may have important contribution to seawater exchange in marina, even in summertime situations with significant wave heights of 0.5 m and duration of 6 hours.
