Dataset underlying the study "How Managed Realignment Modifies Salt Intrusion in Short Estuaries"

This dataset contains all the Delft3D Flexible Mesh input files for the model scenarios included in the publication "How Managed Realignment Modifies Salt Intrusion in Short Estuaries". In this study, the impact of managed realignment (intertidal area restoration) is investigated by using a 3D hydrodynamic model of a typical funnel-shaped, short estuary. The boundary conditions (tidal range and river discharge) are varied to generate a salt wedge (SW), partially mixed (PM) and strain-induced periodic stratification (SIPS) regime. Scenarios investigated include variations in surface area, inlet width and along-estuary location.<br>The README file describes how each directory corresponds to a model scenario
