Abstract
Summary The non-periodic equations which govern tidal flow in estuaries are solved for the case where the vertical distributions of salt and mud are included. In spite of the fact that vertical density gradients are considerably greater than the horizontal ones their influence on the longitudinal drift velocity is shown to be small. The effect is however liable to be significant if, for example, a docks entrance is situated in the neighbourhood of the deposition zone or if the flow regime may be changed to make this the case. The solution justifies the use of tidal models for the prediction of the deposition zone.
