Development of a Hydrodynamic and Water Quality Model of Lake Urmia, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Safaie, Ammar (Supervisor)
Abstract
Due to anthropogenic activities and climate change, Lake Urmia, one of the largest hypersaline lakes, is exposed to desiccating. The increase in salinity in this lake up to more than 400 p.s.u has endangered the ecology of this lake. In this study, a three-dimensional, unstructured grid and finite volume model FVCOM has been developed to investigate Lake Urmia's hydrodynamics, salinity, and water temperature over the year 2016. Some of the model inputs were lake bathymetry, meteorological data (including air temperature and pressure, wind speed and direction, short-wave and longwave radiation), precipitation, evaporation, river flux, salinity, and temperature. The model was calibrated...
