Dataset underlying the study "On the effects of intertidal area on estuarine salt intrusion"

The dataset contains the input files of 82 simulations using Delft3D Flexible Mesh (DFM) in which estuaries were designed using a parametric design. Every estuary design was based on eight (8) input parameters: two (2) boundary conditions, and six (6) geomorphological characteristics. The simulations are grouped in "base" and "extra". The "base"-group contains three (3) sets of boundary conditions representative for three (3) estuary classes: salt wedge (SW), partially mixed (PM), and well-mixed (WM). The model simulations focus on the effect of intertidal area, which has been varied in multiple ways, resulting in 26 simulations per estuary class. Thus, the "base"-group contains 78 (3 x 26) model simulations. The "extra"-group contains two (2) sets of boundary conditions representative for two (2) estuary classes: strongly stratified (SS), and time-dependent salt wedge (TDSW). These model simulations only include two (2) simulations per estuary class. Thus, the "extra"-group contains 4 (2 x 2) model simulations. Simulations focussed on the last day of the simulation period, with the simulation period varying per estuary class (based on the spin-up time): SW: 8 days; PM: 15 days; WM: 60 days; SS: 60 days; TDSW: 8 days.

本数据集包含82次采用代尔夫特三维柔性网格模型（Delft3D Flexible Mesh，DFM）开展的数值模拟的输入文件，所有河口均通过参数化设计方法构建。每个河口设计基于8项输入参数：2项边界条件与6项地貌特征参数。模拟分为基准组（base）与扩展组（extra）两类。基准组（base）包含3组边界条件，分别对应三类河口类型：盐楔型（salt wedge，SW）、部分混合型（partially mixed，PM）与充分混合型（well-mixed，WM）。本次模拟聚焦于潮间带的影响效应，通过多种方式调整潮间带相关参数，每类河口对应26次模拟。因此基准组共包含78（3×26）次模型模拟。扩展组（extra）包含2组边界条件，分别对应两类河口类型：强分层型（strongly stratified，SS）与时变盐楔型（time-dependent salt wedge，TDSW）。该组内每类河口仅包含2次模拟，因此扩展组共包含4（2×2）次模型模拟。所有模拟均以模拟周期的最后一日作为分析重点，不同河口类型的模拟周期存在差异，其设置基于模型自旋启动（spin-up）时长：盐楔型为8天，部分混合型为15天，充分混合型为60天，强分层型为60天，时变盐楔型为8天。
