Abstract

In the first step of developing of this software, we gathered some climate data which was collected during 20 years from the Persian Gulf. In the next step, climate data and boundary conditions were employed on a three dimensional hydrodynamic model (COHERENCE) to get physical properties of Persian Gulf. As a result we obtained a comprehensive density database from this model. Final produced software is able to calculate buoyancy force in specific time and location by its large database. The result of software show that the minimum seasonal average of draft occurs in the winter and the maximum one occurs in the summer. According to our expectancy, it has an inverse relation with density variation.According to our expectancy, it has an inverse relation with density variation
