Volumetric analysis of flow through flushing culverts embedded in breakwaters

Water renewal in harbors and marinas largely depends on the availability of natural generators at a particular location, with tidal oscillations frequently being the most dominant one. In low tidal range areas, it is common to use flushing culverts in order to improve water renewal. Field measurements conducted in ACI marina Opatija point to a significant but brief increase in flow through the flushing culvert due to wind and waves. Considering the whole measuring period, seawater is predominately flowing through the culvert in the direction of the surrounding sea, which may be the result of freshwater sources present in the basin.
