Salam Mahabbah Fillah 22 Dzulkaedah 1437H.. Hari KHAMIS yang ceria dan penuh kasih sayangNYA. Selangit Kasih, Segunung Sayang, Selaut Cinta di Muara RINDU buat sahabat fillah HATI EMAS yang dicintai kerana ALLAH.

Dengan lafaz BISMILLAH..lakaran Warkah Pengikat HATI EMAS ini dimulakan..buat peringatan diri yang serba kekhilafan ini.

ALHAMDULILLAH.. Terima kasih Ya ALLAH atas nikmat Ihsan, Iman dan Islam anugerah teragungMU Ya ALLAH..

Puji dan puja kepada ALLAH SWT, TUHAN pemilik kata-kata yang benar, indah dan tersusun. Selawat dan salam kepada Nabi MUHAMMAD SAW yang apabila berkata-kata bukan daripada nafsu tetapi segala-galanya berpandukan wahyu. Lalu, kata-katanya sentiasa singkat dan tepat.

Doing research is a training for you to do your future work 

without somebody asking you to do so!

If you think doing PhD is hard, think again 🙂 .

The real challenge is to maintain your 'DR' title with newest knowledge and expertise, 

as well as to keep up with current situation. 

Then only you are the true expert in your area. 

Now you see, being a researcher is a continuous work, 

doing PhD is only the beginning of becoming an 'expert'!

Numerical Modeling of Hydrodynamics and Salinity Transport 

in Inner Western Johor Strait, Malaysia.

ABSTRACT

This paper presents the application a 3D hydrodynamic model Environmental Fluid Dynamic Code (EFDC) to Western Johor Strait. The study is motivated by the need to develop management strategies to mitigate the adverse effects high fresh water inflow events and low salinities on the economically important shellfish industry in the area. The paper includes a summary of the field data collection program and a discussion of forcing and response characteristics of the model calibration data set which includes a high fresh water inflow event. Model boundaries were specified by field observations of 10 minutes interval observations for model simulations, including freshwater inputs, tides, winds, salinity and temperatures at open boundary near Nusajaya.  Comparisons of model results show the model reproduces the overall behavior of Johor Straits reasonably well. The comparison in verification may be improved by specifying finer grid resolution and better initial and boundary conditions.
