A theoretical study of the sub-tidal, width-averaged effects of wind stress in estuaries: Dynamics, stratification and salt intrusion

The goal of this thesis is to create a theoreticalmodel that captures the influence of wind on the horizontal and vertical salinity distribution in an estuary, as well as the dynamics that arise within the estuary. A secondary, numerical model, that uses fewer assumptions, will be developed and analysed. This serves to determine whether the...
