Description

Multi-channel estuaries, such as the Mekong Delta in Vietnam and the Scheldt in the Netherlands, have characteristics of both the river and the sea, forming an environment influenced by tidal movements of the sea and freshwater flow of the river.

This study discusses a predictive analytical approach for salinity intrusion and discharge estimate in multi-channel estuaries.

The new approach agrees with 1-D hydrodynamic models and observations, indicating its applicability in practice.

It has successfully developed a new theory and a new equation to quantify tidal pumping due to ebb-flood channel residual circulation and the related salt dispersion.
