| Zusammenfassung |
| An analytical model for tidal dynamics has been applied to the
Yangtze Estuary for the first time, to describe the tidal propagation in
this large and typically branched estuary with three-order branches and four
outlets to the sea. This study shows that the analytical model developed for
a single-channel estuary can also accurately describe the tidal dynamics in
a branched estuary, particularly in the downstream part. Within the same
estuary system, the North Branch and the South Branches have a distinct
tidal behaviour: the former being amplified demonstrating a marine character
and the latter being damped with a riverine character. The satisfactory
results for the South Channel and the South Branch using both separate and
combined topographies confirm that the branched estuary system functions as
an entity. To further test these results, it is suggested to collect more
accurate and dense bathymetric and tidal information. |
