摘要

Prevailing waves, currents, tides and littoral drift at site play essential role for development of passenger terminal in the coastal region. The passenger terminal primarily needs sufficient depth along the harbour and enough wave tranquillity for embarkation and disembarkation of the passengers and goods. It should also be ensured that the proposed site should not be highly affected by littoral drift to avoid the frequent dredging. In present paper, the studies carried out for development of Ro-Ro jetty at Revdanda Tal. Alibaug, Dist. Raigad, Maharashtra in the vicinity of the Mumbai are presented. The hydraulic model studies to assess the wave tranquillity and littoral drift have been carried out using numerical models. The simulation with existing condition indicated that the significant wave heights at jetty would remain in the range of 0.2 to 0.4 m for all predominant wave directions which are within the permissible limit of 0.40 m. Littoral drift studies indicate that net transport in a year is of the order of 0.062 million cum and is towards South and gross transport is of the order of 0.11 million cum. In order to minimize sedimentation in the harbour area, a shallow breakwater of 510 m was proposed mainly to avoid bypassing of littoral drift in the channel and in the harbour area. The studies also indicate that the shoreline would become stable after 4 years.
