Abstract: Sediment transport and its consequent morphodynamic evolution in bay systems are complex physical processes. A DELFT3D numerical model is adopted in simulating the long-term geomorphological processes in the Shenzhen Bay. The hydrological time series and the bathymetric profiles were measured in field surveys and compared to the simulated results. Good agreements was achieved between the simulated and measured results. Possible influencing factors that affects the hydrological and geomorphological processes were analyzed in the study. Long-term bathymetry evolution processes in the Shenzhen Bay are predicted under selected scenarios considering the long-term varying trends in the hydrological and tidal conditions.
