Karelse, M. Faculty Civil Engineering and Geosciences Department Hydraulic Engineering Date 1990-01-01 Abstract Detailed measurements are presented of velocity and density fields in the entrance of a model harbor on a stratified tidal river. Three geometries of the harbor entrance were examined, (1) a harbor with its length axis perpendicular to the river and an entrance width of 1 m, (2) as (1) but with an entrance width of 0.5 m, and (3) a harbor with its length axis at an angle of 45 degrees with the length axis of the river and an entrance width of 0.78 m. Specifically, measured densities and velocities, the gradient Richardson numbers and horizontal flow patterns at various levels in the harbor entrance during high tide, flood slack tide, low tide and ebb slack tide are discussed.
