Laboratory observations of velocity and density fields in the entrance of a harbor on a stratified tidal river

Detailed measurements are presented of velocity and density fields in the entrance of a model harbor on a stratified tidal river. Three geometries of the harbor entrance were examined, (1) a harbor with its length axis perpendicular to the river and an entrance width of 1 m, (2) as (1) but with an entrance width of 0.5 m, and (3) a harbor with...
