Dataset underlying the study "On the effects of intertidal area on estuarine salt intrusion"
What's in it
The dataset contains the input files of 82 simulations using Delft3D Flexible Mesh (DFM) in which estuaries were designed using a parametric design. Every estuary design was based on eight (8) input parameters: two (2) boundary conditions, and six (6) geomorphological characteristics. The simulations are grouped in "base" and "extra". The "base"-group contains three (3) sets of boundary conditions representative for three (3) estuary classes: salt wedge (SW), partially mixed (PM), and well-mixed (WM). The model simulations focus on the effect of intertidal area, which has been varied in multiple ways, resulting in 26 simulations per estuary class. Thus, the "base"-group contains 78 (3 x 26) model simulations. The "extra"-group contains two (2) sets of boundary conditions representative for two (2) estuary classes: strongly stratified (SS), and time-dependent salt wedge (TDSW). These model simulations only include two (2) simulations per estuary class. Thus, the "extra"-group contains 4 (2 x 2) model simulations. Simulations focussed on the last day of the simulation period, with the simulation period varying per estuary class (based on the spin-up time): SW: 8 days; PM: 15 days; …
