Study on the Yangtze River Estuarine Turbidity Maximum

Xin Li, De An Wu

Abstract

This paper presents the definition of the estuarine turbidity maximum, its formation reasons and the factors of variety. According to this information, the Yangtze River estuarine turbidity maximum is analyzed as the typical estuarine turbidity maximum. The results show that North Channel turbidity maximum is different with the others for different hydrodynamics. The Delft3D model is applied to simulation the phenomena and the results are agreed with the analysis.
