| Abstract: | A three-dimensional hydrodynamic numerical model is applied to the simulation of tides, salinity and density currents in the Bristol Channel. The model incorporates a sigma coordinate transformation through the vertical and a grid ☐ system throughout.A suitable formulation is chosen for vertical eddy viscosity by comparing elevations and currents from the model with observations. Two simulations of salinity are made, for February and July 1978. The resulting density current patterns for July 1978 are presented at various levels through the vertical. |
