✦ Synopsis
An extended version of the three-dimensional hydrodynamic model, ADCIRC 3D-DSS, was utilized to simulate both horizontal and vertical flows in a (quarter) annular harbor (QATP and ATP) and rectangular basin with an idealized ship channel (RBSC). Comparison of horizontal and vertical solutions to the analytical solution and results of other researchers are in good agreement. The vertical velocity solution is highly sensitive to the horizontal velocity solutions. The presence of the sidewall boundary may also affect the vertical solutions. Around the sloping bank of RBSC channel with one-third gradient, the vertical velocity becomes important. The maximum vertical velocity approaches ±50% of the sediment fall velocity of fine sand.
