Abstract
Dans le cadre du projet de recherche MODEM intitule "Modelisation Operationnelle pour le Developpement des Ecosystemes Marins", un travail de recherche a ete effectue dans la lagune de Bizerte portant sur l’hydrodynamique sedimentaire. Les analyses granulometriques des sediments de surface, preleves a differentes profondeurs, ont permis d’identifier la nature de ces sediments et de preciser les facteurs et les phenomenes qui interviennent dans leur transport et leur depot. Elles ont montre que les sediments provenant de l’erosion des cotes sont soumis a une dynamique qui est controlee essentiellement par l’action des courants etroitement lies aux vents. Ces courants sont assez importants dans les petites profondeurs au nord et au sud, mais ils sont faibles dans les grandes profondeurs a l’interieur de la lagune. Translated version: Sedimentary hydrodynamics of Bizerte Lagoon Within the framework of the MODEM research project "operational modeling for marine ecosystem development", a research study was carried out on the sedimentary hydrodynamics of the Bizerte lagoon. The grain-size distribution analysis of surface sediments, acquired at several depths, allowed to identify the sediment nature and specifying factors and processes involved in their transport and deposition. This study showed that sediments coming from coastal erosion are under a hydrodynamic system, essentially controlled by the effect of currents, which depends on wind. Currents are strong in shallow waters in the northern and southern areas, but weak in deep waters inside the Bizerte lagoon.
