The wave propagation modeling took into account the bathymetry of the harbor in the area of interest, updated port extensions layout, measurements and digitized bathymetric maps. For the selected offshore waves directions, considered for the harbor entrance area, the incident waves of maximum impact and the peak period values corresponding to the extreme heights of the significant wave at different return periods were calculated. For this study it was used a mild-slope wave propagation numerical model. The model provided quantitative evaluation of the vulnerability induced by the wave agitation on the port developing areas and an overview on hydrodynamic conditions which are the basis for various shelter facilities developments in Constanta Harbor, in extreme events circumstances.}, number={1}, journal={Cercetări Marine - Recherches Marines}, author={Vlăsceanu, Elena and Omer, Ichinur and Niculescu, Dragoș and Marin, Dragoș and Mateescu, Răzvan and Rusu, Liliana}, year={2022}, month={Dec.}, pages={36} }
