To demonstrate the wetting and drying capabilities of FlexSem, a test simulation af a quadratic 50x50 km bay, forced with a 4m amplitude tide on the southern open boundary was carried out. The bathymetry slopes from +5 in north to -25 to the south. A 10 m deep tidepool in the swallow water to the west, an intertidal flat plain at 0 m in the middle and a 6 m deep narrowing channel is placed in the shallow water to the east.
Animation of water level and surface particle tracks. Hoover mouse over Tide Pool, Plain and Channel to see timeseries plots of water level.
