Salinity at Moment of Slack Water

Go Salinity at the Moment of Slack Water = Salinity of Water*exp(-(18*10^-6)*Fresh Water River Flow*Coordinate along the Channel^2-(0.045*Fresh Water River Flow^0.5))

Apparent Dispersion Coefficient which includes all Mixing Effects

Go Apparent Dispersion Coefficient = (Diffusion Coefficient at x=0*Distance outside the Estuary)/(Coordinate along the Channel+Distance outside the Estuary)

Coordinate along Channel given Apparent Dispersion Coefficient

Go Coordinate along the Channel = (Diffusion Coefficient at x=0*Distance outside the Estuary/Apparent Dispersion Coefficient)-Distance outside the Estuary

Diffusion Coefficient

Go Diffusion Coefficient at x=0 = Apparent Dispersion Coefficient*(Coordinate along the Channel+Distance outside the Estuary)/Distance outside the Estuary

Froude Number given Dimensionless Estuary number

Go Froude Number = sqrt((Estuary Number*Fresh Water River Flow*Tidal Period)/Volume of Tidal Prism)

Fresh Water River Flow given Dimensionless Estuary number

Go Fresh Water River Flow = (Volume of Tidal Prism*Froude Number^2)/(Estuary Number*Tidal Period)

Tide Period given Dimensionless Estuary number

Go Tidal Period = (Volume of Tidal Prism*Froude Number^2)/(Estuary Number*Fresh Water River Flow)

Dimensionless Estuary number

Go Estuary Number = (Volume of Tidal Prism*Froude Number^2)/(Fresh Water River Flow*Tidal Period)

Volume of tidal prism given dimensionless estuary number

Go Volume of Tidal Prism = (Estuary Number*Fresh Water River Flow*Tidal Period)/Froude Number^2

Fresh Water River Flow given Mixing Parameter

Go Fresh Water River Flow = (Mixing Parameter*Volume of Tidal Prism)/Tidal Period

Volume of tidal prism given mixing parameter

Tidal Period given Mixing Parameter

Go Tidal Period = (Mixing Parameter*Volume of Tidal Prism)/Fresh Water River Flow

Mixing Parameter

Go Mixing Parameter = (Fresh Water River Flow*Tidal Period)/Volume of Tidal Prism

Froude Number based upon maximum flood current velocity at estuary mouth

Go Froude Number = sqrt(Estuary Number*Mixing Parameter)

Rate of Potential Energy Gain given Dimensionless Stratification Number

Go Rate of Potential Energy Gain = Rate of Energy Dissipation/Stratification Number

Rate of Energy Dissipation given Dimensionless Stratification Number

Go Rate of Energy Dissipation = Stratification Number*Rate of Potential Energy Gain

Dimensionless Stratification Number

Go Stratification Number = Rate of Energy Dissipation/Rate of Potential Energy Gain

Estuary Number given Froude Number and Mixing Parameter

Go Estuary Number = Froude Number^2/Mixing Parameter

Mixing Parameter given Dimensionless Estuary number

Go Mixing Parameter = Froude Number^2/Estuary Number

Dimensionless Stratification Number Formula

Stratification Number = Rate of Energy Dissipation/Rate of Potential Energy Gain
n = r/p

What is River Navigation?

When a stretch of river is made navigable, a lock is sometimes required to bypass an obstruction such as a rapid, dam, or mill weir – because of the change in river level across the obstacle.
In large scale river navigation improvements, weirs and locks are used together. A weir will increase the depth of a shallow stretch, and the required lock will either be built in a gap in the weir, or at the downstream end of an artificial cut which bypasses the weir and perhaps a shallow stretch of river below it. A river improved by these means is often called a Waterway or River Navigation.

What causes stratification?

Stratification occurs as a result of a density differential between two water layers and can arise as a result of the differences in salinity, temperature, or a combination of both. Stratification is more likely when the mixing forces of wind and wave action are minimal and this occurs more often in the summer months.
