Quantifying the Contributions of Tidal Straining and Gravitational Circulation to Residual Circulation in Periodically Stratified Tidal Estuaries
Hans Burchard,Robert D. Hetland +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the contribution of various processes to estuarine circulation in periodically stratified tidal flow under the impact of a constant horizontal buoyancy gradient was quantified for the first time.

The response of salt intrusion to changes in river discharge and tidal mixing during the dry season in the Modaomen Estuary, China
Wenping Gong,Jian Shen +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a numerical modeling system using nested grids was developed to investigate the salt transport mechanisms and the response of salt intrusion to changes in river discharge and tidal mixing in the Modaomen Estuary.
Journal ArticleDOI
A model study of the Salish Sea estuarine circulation
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used the total exchange flow formalism that calculates volume transports and salt fluxes in an isohaline framework, which is then compared to previous estimates of exchange flow in the region.

Tidal stream energy impact on the transient and residual flow in an estuary: A 3D analysis
TL;DR: In this article, a 3D numerical model was implemented in Ria de Ortigueira, a promising region for tidal stream energy exploitation, to study the potential flow changes due to the operation of a power plant, including the assessment of the potential impacts on the 3D residual flow in a real estuary.

General circulation experiments with the primitive equations
TL;DR: In this article, an extended period numerical integration of a baroclinic primitive equation model has been made for the simulation and the study of the dynamics of the atmosphere's general circulation, and the solution corresponding to external gravitational propagation is filtered by requiring the vertically integrated divergence to vanish identically.

Development of a turbulence closure model for geophysical fluid problems
George L. Mellor,Tetsuji Yamada +1 more
TL;DR: The second-moment turbulent closure hypothesis has been applied to geophysical fluid problems since 1973, when genuine predictive skill in coping with the effects of stratification was demonstrated as discussed by the authors.

An Unstructured Grid, Finite-Volume, Three-Dimensional, Primitive Equations Ocean Model: Application to Coastal Ocean and Estuaries
TL;DR: An unstructured grid, finite-volume, three-dimensional (3D) primitive equation ocean model has been developed for the study of coastal oceanic and estuarine circulation as discussed by the authors.

Gravitational Circulation in Straits and Estuaries
Donald V. Hansen,Maurice Rattray +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a coupled set of partial differential equations and associated boundary conditions for estuaries in which turbulent mixing results primarily from tidal currents is described, where the circulation is separated into modes analogous to the barotropic, baroclinic and Ekman modes of oceanic circulation.
