Abstract: Standard methods for computing backwater at width constrictions of flood plains severely underestimate backwater when the flood plain is wide and heavily vegetated. The energy‐loss term for the approach reach upstream from ...

Abstract: A two‐dimensional, depth‐averaged, finite‐difference, numerical model was used to simulate tidal circulation and mass transport in the Port Royal Sound, South Carolina, estuarine system. The purpose of the study was to ...
