Articles and gems - Tidal rivers

This web page contains links pertaining to the section "Tidal Rivers" from the course "Ondiepwaterstromingen" and the associated modeling lab (SOBEK) carried out for the University of Twente in December 2000 and still in use.

Modeling (see also Tampa Bay sites, below):

• Simulation Model for Open-Channel Flow and Transport Schaffranek R.W. (1998), USGS. The model is based on an extended form of the one-dimensional de Saint Venant equations of unsteady open-channel flow and is applied to the tidal Potomac.
• Boston Harbor (HydroQual, Inc.)
• software etc at Proudman Oceanographic Laboratory
• SOBEK
