Hydrodynamic numerical simulation at the mouths of the Parana and Uruguay rivers and the upper Rio de la Plata estuary: A realistic boundary condition

Mostrar todas las versiones(3)

A hydrodynamic numerical study at the mouths of the Paraná and Uruguay rivers and the upper Río de la Plata is presented in this paper. Water Quality Mapping numerical model was implemented and realistic and very simple boundary conditions were specially developed for this complex estuarial system....
