Abstract: A two‐dimensional (in a vertical plane) branching model is developed to simulate salinity distribution in complex estuaries. The model is applied to a one‐month salinity study in the Chesapeake Bay during a period of low ...

Abstract: A two‐dimensional (in a vertical plane), nonlinear model is used to analyze tide‐induced mean currents in shallow estuaries forced with tides of significant amplitude. The model is first verified by comparing its results ...
