Description:
Thermodynamics of saline and fresh water mixing in estuaries Zhilin Zhang and Hubert H. G. Savenije Earth Syst. Dynam., 9, 241-247, https://doi.org/10.5194/esd-9-241-2018, 2018 This paper presents a new equation for the dispersion of salinity in alluvial estuaries based on the maximum power concept. The new equation is physically based and replaces previous empirical equations. It is very useful for application in practice because in contrast to previous methods it no longer requires a calibration parameter, turning the method into a predictive method. The paper presents successful applications in more than 23 estuaries in different parts of the world.
