The Filling Dynamics of an Estuary: From the Process to the Modelling
Abstract
The aim of this chapter is to summarise the main hydrosedimentary processes that take place in estuaries and to present different approaches for their modelling. Section 2 is dedicated to the description of the physical processes involved in estuaries. Section 3 presents the classical (single phase) approach focussing on different ways to model the bed evolutions; the rheological and erosion properties of mud are discussed. Section 4 deals with the two-phase model for sediment transport. Several applications are presented. Finally, the shortcomings of each modelling strategy are discussed and the perspectives are given in section 5.
