Exploring the three-dimensional flow-sediment dynamics and trapping mechanisms in a curved estuary: The role of salinity and circulation

Combined with the observed data in the wet season in June 2015, structures of longitudinal and lateral residual current and characteristics of the estuarine turbidity maximum (ETM) in the Yongjiang estuary (YE) are studied using a three-dimensional baroclinic flow and sediment numerical model. The m...
