Abstract
This paper deals with the application of the Taylor-Galerkin finite element method to the simulation of the tidal dynamics and transport of chemically reactive pollutants in a branching river—estuary system. The adopted mathematical technique is fully described and the derivation of the working equations of the scheme is outlined. To validate the model two case studies, namely, tidal dynamics and salt intrusion in Upper Milford Haven (Wales, UK) and heavy metal dispersion in the Fal estuary (Cornwall, UK) are reported. Results of the model simulation in both cases are in good agreement with the field observations.
