Abstract

In this paper, the authors present computation method of sediment transport from the Cửu Long Estuary, wave, current, sediment dispersion as well as the variation of the sea floor by using MIKE21 [1] software and Finite Element Method. The results were ontained based on the wind data recorded at the Côn Đảo Station together with the discharge, suspended sediment data in the Hậu River (at Cần Thơ Station), the Tiền River (at the Mỹ Thuận Station) in 2012 by the National Hydrometeorological Center, Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment. This study contributed to prepare a database for planning, economic development and acretion - erosion prevention of ~382 km-long coastline along the Sóc Trăng, Bạc Liêu and Cà Mau Provinces (Sóc Trăng: 72 km, Bạc Liêu: 56 km and Cà Mau: 254 km).
