Three-dimensional hydrodynamic model of the Rance estuary (France) influenced by the world’s second largest tidal power plant

The Rance estuary is a small steep-sided ria, located in the Brittany coast of northern France, with a maximum spring tidal range of 13.5m and an average river discharge of 7m3/s.
