These basins are important both from an economic and ecological point of view. Complex channel and shoal patterns can be found in these inlets, as they develop due to the interaction of the currents generated by tides, wind and density differences with the erodible bed. External conditions, such as human interferences, can also strongly influence the morphologic behaviour. The aim of this thesis is to elucidate the physical mechanisms resulting in the formation of channel and shoal patterns in short tidal embayments.
