Abstract:A detailed understanding of the hydrodynamics and sediment transport mechanisms of the intertidal mudflat-channel system can better predict its future survival and development potential. This study selected a typical open-coast macrotidal mudflat, Xiaoyangkou tidal flat in Rudong in the central part of Jiangsu Province, as the studied area, with field observations conducted on the tidal mudflat-channel system during tidal cycles. The study revealed wind waves generated by winds of around 7 m/s within a fetch l… Show more
