Estuarine turbidity maxima (ETMs) are generated by a large suite of hydrodynamic and
sediment dynamic processes, leading to longitudinal convergence of cross-sectionally …

Sediment dynamics is essential for morphological evolution, water quality, and ecosystem
health in an estuary. Winds and waves have significant effects on vertical stratification …

Over decades and centuries, the mean depth of estuaries changes due to sea-level rise,
land subsidence, infilling, and dredging projects. These processes produce changes in …

Quantifying the Contributions of Tidal Straining and Gravitational Circulation to Residual
Circulation in Periodically Stratified Tidal Estuaries in: Journal of Physical Oceanography …

The generation of residual circulation in a tidally energetic estuary with constant longitudinal
salinity gradient and parabolic cross section is examined by means of a two-dimensional …

The pattern of density‐induced flow influenced by basin's width, friction, and Earth's rotation
is investigated as a function of the Ekman (Ek) and Kelvin (Ke) numbers. A semianalytical …

Motivated by field studies of the Ems estuary which show longitudinal gradients in bottom
sediment concentration as high as O (0.01 kg/m4), we develop an analytical model for …

We present an analytical model to decompose complex along-channel and transverse
residual flows into components induced by individual mechanisms. The model describes the …

Coastal environments are directly influenced by terrigenous inputs coming from rivers
through estuaries. Quantifying the amount of nutrients and contaminants transported by …

Understanding estuarine hydrodynamics and sediment dynamics is of key importance to
provide the foundation for sound management of these coastal systems. Turbidity maxima …
