Evaluating sediment transport in Shahid Bahonar port

Sediment transport is one of the most important parameters in coastal engineering issues. It is very important to define the sediment transport rate in the sea morphology and construction of port installation, ponds and waterfronts. The issue mentioned above is so affective on anticipated design life, safety of which against sedimentation and defining the dredging period. Sediment transport in Shahid Bahonar port was evaluated in the research. First, Sediment transport was calculated using data such as wave, flow and aggregation of the region and semi – empirical methods. Then it was compared with sediment transport resulted from hydrographic maps and it is calibrated. The results demonstrated that Biker method is more accurate in the region.
