Effect of estuarine dam location and discharge interval on estuarine hydrodynamics, sediment dynamics, and morphodynamics

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022
The effect of an estuarine dam located near the mouth for a range of estuarine types (strongly stratified, partially mixed, periodically stratified, and well-mixed) has been studied using a numerical model of an idealized estuary.

Human footprint on estuarine tidal hydrodynamics. [PDF]

Nat Geosci
Abstract Natural estuarine morphology exerts strong control over tidal propagation. Human activities, such as dredging and land reclamation, modify the natural geometry, altering tidal dynamics and the ecosystems linked to them. Here we analyse changes in tidal dynamics, specifically the amplitude and propagation of tides, over ...

Modeling estuarine hydrodynamics and salinity for wetland restoration [PDF]

Journal of Environmental Science and Health - Part A Toxic/Hazardous Substances and Environmental Engineering, 1998
Abstract A vertical two‐dimensional estuarine hydrodynamic and salinity model is developed to simulate the hydrodynamic characteristics and salinity distribution of the tide‐influenced wetland. The Kuan‐Du plain, an alluvial fan with vast wetlands and transition of fresh‐salt water, situated at the confluence of the main Tanshui River and Keelung River

Performance evaluation of high discharge estuarine hydrodynamic model

Ain Shams Engineering Journal
The complexity of physical processes in an estuary provides challenges to develop a functional and reliable model. There is a lack of systematic method in calibrating and validating the model in reducing the time of processing the model which can take a ...

Forecasting contrasting coastal and estuarine hydrodynamics with OPENCoastS [PDF]

Environmental Modelling & Software, 2021
Abstract Robust and accurate coastal forecasts require models to represent the relevant processes, prediction computational tools and reliable computational resources. OPENCoastS is a free, open-source WebGIS platform to develop on-demand hydrodynamic forecast systems that started as a simple 2D engine.

Responses of estuarine circulation to the morphological evolution in a convergent, microtidal estuary [PDF]

Ocean Science, 2022
The Huangmaohai estuary (HE) is a funnel-shaped microtidal estuary in the west of the Pearl River Delta (PRD) in southern China. Since China reformed and opened up in 1978, extensive human activities have occurred and greatly changed the estuary's ...

A novel approach for the assessment of morphological evolution based on observed water levels in tide-dominated estuaries [PDF]

Hydrology and Earth System Sciences, 2020
Assessing the impacts of both natural (e.g. tidal forcing from the ocean) and human-induced changes (e.g. dredging for navigation and land reclamation) on estuarine morphology is particularly important for the protection and management of the estuarine ...

Impact of Reduced Fluvial Sediment Supply on Saltwater Intrusion in the Yangtze Estuary

Earth's Future, 2023
A decline of the fluvial sediment supply leads to coastal erosion and land loss. However, the fluvial sediment load may influence not only coastal morphodynamics but also estuarine hydrodynamics and associated saltwater intrusion.
