Main Physical Processes Affecting the Residence Times of a Micro-Tidal Estuary

Modeling the tidal and sub-tidal hydrodynamics in a shallow, micro-tidal estuary

Effect of residence times on River Mondego estuary eutrophication vulnerability.

The south arm of the Mondego estuary, located in the central western Atlantic coast of Portugal, is almost silted up in the upstream area. So, the water circulation is mostly driven by tides and the tributary river Pranto discharges. Eutrophication has been taking place in this ecosystem during last twelve years, where macroalgae reach a luxuriant development covering a significant area of the ...

Dynamics of the turbidity maximum zone in a micro-tidal estuary: Hawkesbury River, Australia

Bed sediment, velocity and turbidity data are presented from a large (145 km long), generally well-mixed, micro-tidal estuary in south-eastern Australia. The percentage of mud in the bed sediments reaches a maximum in a relatively narrow zone centred 30±40 km from the estuary mouth. Regular tidal resuspension of these bed sediments produces a turbidity maximum (TM) zone in the same location. Th...

Using a three-dimensional particle-tracking model to estimate the residence time and age of water in a tidal estuary

A three-dimensional hydrodynamic model that includes a Lagrangian particle-tracking simulation was applied to the Danshuei River estuarine system in northern Taiwan. The model’s accuracy was validated with data from1999; the results from themodel agreedwellwith empirical observations ofwater surface elevation, tidal currents, and salinity. The validatedmodelwas then used to investigate the resi...
