Abstract
Rather than attempt to give a report on the whole state of the art of mathematical modelling of sediment transport in estuaries, a brief account of some of the models being used and developed at HRS will be given. These mathematical models have all been developed for the purpose of predicting changes in the pattern of siltation in navigation channels or tidal basins as a result of altering the equilibrium of an estuary either by regulation of the fluvial flow or by engineering works. Most of the models have proved to be accurate enough for practical engineering problems especially for the comparison of different schemes in the feasibility stages of a project.
