In this study, information about the fate of non-cohesive sediments from
the Sürmene River in the Eastern Black Sea region of Trabzon province was
obtained by using POM sediment transport model. The POMSED model is designed to
simulate with as much realism as possible time-dependent distributions of water
levels, currents, temperature, salinity, tracers, cohesive and noncohesive
sediments and waves in marine and freshwater systems. The model is capable of
simulating the transport and fate of suspended sediments, dissolved tracers and
neutrally-buoyant particles in estuarine and coastal ocean systems.
In this study, the depositional areas of the non-cohesive sediments in
the marine environment were determined from the river entrance. Non- Cohesive
sediments depositional areas were determined by changing parameters such as
stream flow velocity, wind direction, and magnitude. Using this model, it is
possible to obtain information about the fate of non- cohesive sediments in the
marine environment in a short time and thus reduce the coastal erosion and
sediment accumulation in coastal areas to a minimum. It has been found that the
non-cohesive sediments entering the Eastern Black Sea in the Sürmene River lead
to coastal agglomeration. It is stated that the necessary measures should be
taken to prevent this situation.
