TY - RPRT T1 - Modeling mud transport in a macrotidal estuary A1 - Le Hir,Pierre A1 - Bassoullet,Philippe A1 - L'Yavanc,Jacky UR - https://archimer.ifremer.fr/doc/00080/19146/ N2 - In order to determine the fate of the fine particles and adsorbed contaminants in a short macrotidal estuary, a mathematical modelling system for cohesive suspended mater transport and bottom evolution, including a new consolidation algorithm, is developed. An analysis of successive erosion, transport and deposition processes due to tidal forcing is given and comparisons with field data are provided. A description of mean-terrn bottom variations has been attempted and is partially validated by differential sounding. Y1 - 1988 ID - 19146 ER -
