Development and application of a braided river model with non-uniform sediment transport

TL;DR: In this article, a physics-based morphological model for modeling the evolution of a single straight channel to a multi-thread pattern and local morphologic changes is presented. But this model is not suitable for the modeling of multithreaded channels.
Journal ArticleDOI

Seasonal hydrodynamic interactions between tidal waves and river flows in the Yangtze Estuary

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the interactions between tidal waves and riverine flows in the Yangtze Estuary using the methods of numerical modelling and harmonic analysis, and the results indicated that in the coastal area, semi-diurnal and diurnal tidal constituents propagate in different directions along the coast and that the tidal waves in coastal area are stationary, i.e. the amplitude and phase do not change in time.
Journal ArticleDOI

A modelling study of residence time and exposure time in the Pearl River Estuary, China

TL;DR: In this article, the authors used a depth integrated hydrodynamic-dispersion model to predict the distribution of the tidal wave amplitude and salinity level in the Pearl River Estuary (PRE).
Journal ArticleDOI

Predicting water age distribution in the Pearl River Estuary using a three-dimensional model

TL;DR: In this paper, the age of water (AW) concept is applied to investigate the water exchange process in a large and density stratified estuary, namely the Pearl River Estuary.
