4 1. ITRODUCTIO The coastal area of the Lower Mekong Delta (LMD) influenced by waves, tidal currents, changing sediment loads from the Mekong and Saigon-Dong ai river system, and storm surges from the East and West Sea. In addition, human activity has an impact on erosion and deposition processes through dyke construction and drainage, agriculture, aquaculture, and fishery exploitation along the coastal areas. In recent years, the impact of upstream dams, especially on the Mekong main river, has reduced sediment feeding into the LMD and its estuary. All of these impacts have caused shore erosion along approximately two thirds of the total coastline length, and a land loss rate of about 500 ha/year in the past ten years. In the future, climate change and sea level rise will make this situation worse. Figure 1.1 shows the LMD and seasonal wind patterns affecting the seasonal transport of sediment along the coastal zone; Figure 1.2 shows the estimation of erosion and deposition rates along the LMD coastal zone. The subject of this project is the coastal zone of the Vam-Lang, Kieng-Phuoc, Tan-Dien, and Tan-Thanh communes of the Go Cong district (Tien Giang province), located at the coordinates of 106o o47 40 Easting and 10 15' '45 orthing. Research area is contiguous to the Soai Rap River in the orth, to the Cua Tieu River in the South, to the East Sea in the East and to the Go Cong Eastern Dyke System. 2. OBJECTIVES The goal of the project is to model the coastal erosion situation of Go Cong with TelemacMascaret Modeling Suite to propose the coastal protection measures. This report presents the results of calibration and validation of flow and wave numerical models over the regional and local zones for further simulation in the LMDCZ. 3. METHODOLOGY A desirable approach for this project is integration from general to specific. Firstly, the whole LMDCZ should be considered in the context of South China Sea with its hydrodynamic characteristics. Secondly, the impact of human activities should be estimated, especially the reduction of sediment to the LMD and coastal area due to upstream Mekong dams. In addition, sea level rise from climate change should be accounted. The numerical approaches will be used for this work-package with consideration of experimental works in other work-package of the project. The well-known numerical models such as TELEMAC-2D, TOMAWAC and SISYPHE will be used to compute waves, currents, and sediment plumes in the LMDCZ. 4

5 The LMDCZ project will use the whole South China Sea model solutions for tidal and wave fields in the East and West Seas. The LMDCZ project will use the results obtained from the large-scale study as initial and boundary data for the simulations with very finescale resolution of tides, waves and geo-morphological changes. Then, the numerical simulations of the whole LMDCZ will provide boundary conditions for simulations of regional areas, which will in turn provide initial and boundary conditions for the study areas, that is Go Cong (largely impacted by the Mekong estuary and the East sea flow-wave regimes). Modeled shore protection measures for Go Cong should be considered both as hard and soft. The appropriate protection measures need to be assessed based on numerical models with consideration of physical models, focusing on their possible impact in the long term, under changing conditions for sediment sources and climate. In order to calibrate the model for flows and sediments, 2 additional measurement campaigns, each lasting 15 days, in the estuaries and in coastal zones along the lower Mekong Delta. The two 15-day measurement campaigns for each site is carried out in October 2016 and in February There are 6 stations planned for each campaign, including: 2 stations in Mekong (at My Thuan) and Bassac (at Can Tho) rivers (coincided with ational Hydrology Stations) for measuring discharges (Q) and suspended sediment concentration (SSC) by ADCP. 2 fixed stations at Go Cong and U-Minh; 2 mobile ships along the East and West seas Measured fields for the 4 latter stations will be: Water level (hourly at the 2 fixed stations) Vertical distribution of velocity Vertical distribution of salinity (5 points for each vertical line) Vertical distribution of sediments (5 points for each vertical line) Waves (height, period and direction) umerical models have reached a level of accuracy and detail over the past 25 years that most of the dominant processes in the coastal environment can be quantified. However, the numerical models are tools only for the coastal engineers and planners. I ideal, the study is should be divided into 2 parts: a) baseline study and b) measures assessment. Baseline studies of ocean and coastal conditions leading to: Baseline description of wind, waves and tides in the area Coastal classification Description of littoral drift conditions Equilibrium orientation of shorelines 5

6 Description of variability in above conditions Regional and extended zones modeling Sufficiently long recording of time series of tides and waves is normally not available at a project site as basis for establishment of design conditions, whereas wind recordings and weather maps are normally available from local meteorological stations and international organizations (OAA, CEP,.etc.). Such wind and air pressure data are very suitable as input data for spectral wind wave models and 2D or 3D hydrodynamic flow models. The combination of advanced numerical wave and hydrodynamic models and powerful computers thus makes it possible to run long time series, i.e. decades of years, of hydrodynamic and wind wave simulations thereby providing basis for establishment of a baseline description of the following offshore conditions: Winds Waves Currents and flushing conditions Tides and storm surges Possible shorter recording time series of waves, tides and currents are suitable for calibration of the numerical models. The established time series of regional marine parameters are thereafter suitable for statistical description of normal conditions as well as of design conditions. Furthermore, the established regional models can provide boundary conditions for local wave, hydrodynamic and sediment transport models Local area modeling The study of the conditions in the local project area will normally require the establishment of local models. The new generation of such models are Flexible Mesh Models, in which the local model resolution can be adjusted as required. This technique provides the possibility of modeling large areas in one single model without shifting to several layers of finer grid models 4. MODEL SETUP, DATA USED, CALIBRATIO AD VALIDATIO 4.1. MODEL SETUP Figures 3.1, 3.2, 3.3 depict the research scope of the models with different scales and levels of details. The Regional computational model (RCM) was established for the whole South China Sea with the aim of deep-water waves modeling to get wave and current boundary data for more detailed models. The main boundary for the RCM model itself are located at Malacca, Luzon and Taiwan Straits. Model A is an extended model, used to simulate offshore boundary conditions (tidal, storm surge, wave, current generated by wind, etc.) for coastal study areas. The spatial 6

7 scope of Model A was chosen broadly enough to ensure that the effects of uncertainty at the open boundary to the main study area were minimized. In this study, model A covers an area of about 130 km diameter around the LMD coastline of from Dong Ho Lake (RachGia Province) to Long Hai cape (Vung Tau Province). The bottom of the seabed at about m 3.29 m. TAIWA STRAIT LUZO STRAIT MALACCA STRAIT Figure 4.1: Global model Figure 4.2: Extended Model (A) Figure 4.3: Local Model (B) Model B is a detailed model of the study area and used to predict the coastline dynamics under different extreme condition and to estimate the effectiveness of a structural 7

8 measures. The open boundary data for the model B are extracted from the results of model A simulation. Because the actual data is only within the range of model A, this report only presents calibration and validation results for the RCM Model and Model A. The parameters of model A are also used for model B DATA USED Wave model setup of the whole South China Sea Forecast tidal levels are used at open boundaries of the model. These tidal levels were predicted based on the harmonic constituents obtained from the analysis of global tidal data monitored with satellites and corrected with real measured data. All datasets are integrated within FES2014 database. Wave heights, periods, frequencies, directions for the Malacca, Luzon and Taiwan straits are extracted from WAVEWATCH-III database HD and sediment transport modeling in the extended study area Upstream open boundaries at river estuaries are 7discharge boundaries. Two of discharge boundaries are located near the hourly observed station so they are provided with real discharge data. For the 5 other boundaries, flow data are generally extracted from the results of the 1D hydrodynamic model (MIKE11). The mentioned above 1D model has been established, calibrated, validated and used by the SIWRR in different research projects in the recent several years, so the model is highly reliable. In the wave model, these boundaries are assumed to be closed boundaries (land or wall boundary) D Hydrodynamic and sediment transport model in the detailed study area For upstream discharge boundary, the discharge data used are similar to model A. For the seaward open boundaries, water level data used are extracted from simulation results of model A. For the wave model, seaward open boundaries are extracted from the wave simulation results of model A. Upstream boundaries are also assumed to be Land Boundary (Closed Wall) Topographic data The topographic data used in this study were inherited from different sources and earlier researches: For estuarine areas (Soai Rap, Cua Tieu, Cua Dai, Ham Luong) and coastal areas of Go Cong, Can Gio and the Ganh Rai Gulf, the topographic data is extracted 8

9 from the surveying reconnaissance of 1/5.000 scale topographic plane. In the years 2008, 2009, and 2010, under the framework of the Baseline Survey Project implemented by the SIWRR and the ICOE as well as survey work-package of this research. For coastal areas from HCMC to Kien Giang, the topographic data was extracted from the map (scale of 1/100,000) published by the avy in The topography in other areas of the South China Sea was extracted from the SRTM30_PLUSV6.0 database from the Scripps Institution of Oceanography, Californian University, USA. This is a dataset with 30" 30" resolution, constructed from the satellite-gravity model, in which the gravity-to-topography ratios are corrected by 298 million ADCP depth points Wind field data Wind field data is the most important input parameter for the wave computation model. The background wind data used in this study derived from the modeling results of the Climate Forecast System Reanalysis (CFSR) of the ational Center for Environmental Prediction, the part of the US ational Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (CEP/OAA). The wind field results obtained from the reanalysis simulation, which includes the model validation with the measured data from the global marine observation stations system so the data should be highly reliable. This wind field data is from with a time step of 1 hour and a grid size of o 0.312o. This is a very good dataset for the wind and weather research.

11 Figure 4.8: CEP wind data (used for wave forcing factor) of the South China Sea Area Wave field data The wave and wind data collected at Bach Ho drilling platform in 1996 was collected for the model calibration and validation purposes. The wind data used to verify the reliability of wind data extracted from the CFSR model. The wave data used to verify the TOMAWAC model. The satellite-monitored wave data used to calibrate the South China Sea model in this research was provided by France's AVISO organization. Concretely, the datasets are combined in Ssalto/Duacs wave-field toolset (compiled from wave monitored by different satellite system such as Jason-1 and Jason-2, Topex/Poseidon, Envisat, GFO, ERS-1 and ERS-2, and Geosat). This data only includes significant wave height, with a time step of 1 day, a coarse 1o 1o space grid, and is available from September 14, 2009 to present. The wave simulation results of the WAVEWATCH-III model used for comparison with the TOMAWAC results are also provided by CEP/OAA. This dataset includes such wave 11

12 components as significant wave height, maximum wave period, and average main wave direction. The data has a time step of 3 hours, 0.5o 0.5o space grid, available from 2005 to present.

WAVE AD CURRET MODEL CALIBRATIO To calibrate and validate the TOMAWAC wave model for the whole South China Sea (SCS) domain, we compare the wave results pattern from the SCS model with the following wave data: (i) Observed wave data from the satellites of France's AVISO organization, and (ii) Wave pattern simulated using the WAVEWATCH-III model of the CEP/OAA in the US. 12

13 For the current calibration of the South China Sea we use the FES2014 H and UV values at certain points in the deep water (P1-P56) and certain points located near-shore or around islands (Kolak, Tioman, Kuantan, Cendering, Curimao, Bintulu, Phu Qui, Con Dao).
