Note on Estuary‐River Models Using Boundary‐Fitted Coordinates
Publication: Journal of Hydraulic Engineering
Volume 119, Issue 10
Abstract
Equations in a two‐dimensional, laterally averaged estuary‐river model previously developed using boundary‐fitted (curvilinear) coordinates were compared to those in traditional one‐dimensional river models. Unlike the latter ones, the equations expressed in the curvilinear coordinates account for the effect of curvilinear geometries of a meandering river and describe stratifications in the water column and density‐flow intrusions in estuaries. Equations for traditional one‐dimensional river models are, in fact, special cases of the equations employed in the present model.
