Development and application of a 3-D DAP numerical model of estuaries

A three-dimensional numerical model of water flow and transport of one quantity (heat, salt, mud or pollution) has been developed for estuaries or coastal waters that uses the ICL DAP. The model is applied to simulate the distribution of salt and the flow patterns in the Severn Estuary. This model is the basic TIDEFLOW-3D option of the Hydraulics Research TIDEWAY system of numerical models for assessing the impact of engineering works on estuaries and coastal waters.
