Project: Study of the estuarine current salinity sediment coupling mechanism

Computational Grids

Zhengjin Tao, who just joined the group on 28th Nov from Hohai University in China as a visiting PhD student, support by CSC under the joint supervision programme. He is working on the estuarine current salinity sediment coupling mechanism.

The project is to investigate the effects of tide and runoff-tidal interaction on estuarine salinity dispersion, through constructing an analytical model, to quantify the contributions of different sediment transport mechanisms and elucidate the role of saltwater intrusion in estuarine sediment transport and invert longitudinal salinity and sediment distribution.
