Abstract:Geomorphologic characteristics of tidal basins have been shown to control tidal asymmetry and associated sediment transport potential in coastal regions. In this study, we examine how winds modulate horizontal velocity asymmetry patterns in shallow tidal basins. Numerical modelling experiments for a series of idealized basins in which planform shape and bathymetry were varied, reveal that an increase in wind speed promotes more extreme horizontal velocity asymmetry (larger velocity asymmetry values) without su… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
