Three-dimensional model system for baroclinic estuarine dynamics and suspended sediment transport in a mesotidal estuary
A coupled 3D-baroclinic hydrodynamic and cohesive sediment transport model applied to the Western Scheldt estuary is presented. The use of the two-fold sigma coordinate considerably improves the results on intertidal zones. The simulations provide an insight into the effetcs of stratification and its tidal asymmetry into the sediment transport. The calculated density current show an intensity t...
متن کاملModeling of Hydrodynamics and Cohesive Sediment Processes in an Estuarine System: Study Case in Danshui River
Danshui River estuarine system is the largest estuarine system in northern Taiwan and is formed by the confluence of Tahan Stream, Hsintien Stream and Keelung River. A comprehensive one-dimensional model was used to model hydrodynamics and cohesive sediment transport in this branched River estuarine system. The applied unsteady model uses advection/dispersion equation to model the cohesive sedi...
متن کاملSite-specific features influence sediment stability of intertidal flats
The factors that influence the sediment stability and the transport of estuarine mudflats are not yet fully understood but knowledge of them is essential in coastal engineering applications and pollution ecology studies. The suggestion that variation in predictive models of sediment stability might be due to site-specific characteristics is investigated using data from four estuarine mudflats (...
متن کاملA mass conservative 3-D numerical model for predicting solute ̄uxes in estuarine waters
A re®ned three-dimensional layer-integrated model to predict accurately salt and cohesive sediment transport in estuarine waters is described herein. A splitting algorithm has been used to split the three-dimensional transport equation into a horizontal twodimensional equation and a vertical one-dimensional equation due to the dierent length scales. An additional source term associated with th...
متن کاملThe Deschutes Estuary Restoration Feasibility Study: development of a process-based morphological model
Continual sediment accumulation in Capitol Lake since the damming of the Deschutes River in 1951 has altered the initial morphology of the basin. As part of the Deschutes River Estuary Restoration Feasibility Study, the United States Geological Survey (USGS) is modeling how tidal and storm processes will influence the river, lake and lower Budd Inlet should estuary restoration occur. Understand...
