A Similarity Model for Wind Waves in Chabahar Coastal Area

Observation and consideration of waves’ characteristics in coastal zone is one of the most importanttopics in the field of costal engineering. Chabahar area has attracted attentions due to its strategic location in transportation developments of the region with other parts of the world,especially Far East. This study looked at the data gathered from buoy during summer, and winter of 1998 to 2000 and registered wind analysis during 1998 until 2003, waves and wind rose of the region. Based on this information, it is shown that this region mostly has instabilities in its surface layers and most of the time, duration-limited wave growth conditions dominated on waves. The similar model of wave, considers the relationship between non-dimensional parameters. The main objective of this research is calculation and estimation of non-dimensional energy, frequency, fetch and duration of wind waves and the relations between these parameters for Chabahar coast.
