Influence of the inclination of the sea floor (slope) on intrusion in littoral zones

Journal of Engineering Physics and Thermophysics Aims and scope

Abstract

Consideration is given to the two-dimensional (in the vertical plane) steady-state flow of fresh groundwater in a semiinfinite pressure water-bearing layer to a saltwater sea the littoral part of the zone of whose floor makes an arbitrary angle with the horizon. An algorithm of calculation of the intrusion (i.e., penetration) of seawater into the littoral freshwater strata has been developed based on this model. A hydrodynamic analysis of the structure and characteristic features of the process modeled is given using the exact analytical dependences obtained with the P. Ya. Polubarinova-Kochina method; the influence of each determining physical parameter of the model and of the angle of inclination of the littoral part of the sea-floor zone on the degree of intrusion has been evaluated.
