Abstract

Segmented tidal prism models have considerable merit, especially for pedagogical purposes, in that they can incorporate mixing processes in an easily visualized, if over simplified, way. The present paper attempts to expose some flaws in Ketchum's original model of this type and proposes a more general approach. This appears to give quite satisfactory results when applied to test cases, in particular to the prediction of salinity distribution for the Thames estuary.
