ABSTRACT
Winds, tidal currents, and waves of the ocean are considered the most important factors in the field of ocean engineering. In particular, the numerical forecasting of tidal currents, winds over the sea, and ocean waves in coastal areas is important for ocean environments, fisheries, and navigation. In the previous paper[1][2], the numerical simulation of tidal currents as they relate to the winds in a bay was explained. The simulation of tidal currents was carried out in Japan’s Osaka Bay. Detailed tidal currents were calculated using the POM (Princeton Oceanography Model). The results of the numerical simulation of tidal currents and tidal elevations were compared with data from observations in the bay. A comparison of the numerical and calculated results showed agreement.
