Hydrodynamic and sedimentary study for the improvement of the coves in the bay of Portocolom, Majorca.

A study of the agitation in the interior of the bay of Portocolom has been carried out based on the simulation of the most frequent wave conditions with MSP (Non-Linear Wave Model). Wave isoheight and free sea surface maps have been obtained for the whole bay for each initial condition.

The tidal wave has been propagated to the interior of the bay using the H2D numerical model, considering the same wave situations propagated to its access using the OLUCA-SP model, and also considering the effects of the wind. In this way, the currents induced in the study area by all the acting dynamics and a hydrodynamic model of the behaviour of the bay's inlets have been determined.

 

Location Bay of Porcolom, Mallorca, Balearic Islands

Date: 2008

Scope of the project: hydrodynamic and sedimentary study

Other projects

The main objective of the development proposed in the Special Plan is to improve the urban environment, proposing a solution that guarantees public use and enjoyment.

The project consists of the development of the coastline with the recovery of the DPMT and the transit easement, giving them back their public use, on the coast.

695.8 km² surface area 99,381 inhabitants (2023) Nautical-sports activities linked to tourism are one of the activities that have the greatest impact on the fragility of the coastline.
