Based on hydrographical surveys carried out during the period of 1985~1991
theoretical consideration and numerical models
the present paper provides a brief analysis on thedynamics of huangmaohai estuary
emphasizing on the low frequency flow patterns andcirculation. Labeled water parcel trajectories reveals the important formation mechanism of themid-estuary bar. Four small scale dynamic structures are found in the estuary along the Northand East Channel which have profound effects on the sedimentation
They are from north to south(1)the vasf Yamen bi-direction jet systam
(2)vertical density driven circulation
(3)gorge jet current and(4)horizontal circulation. The effects of estuarine dynamics on the sedimentation processes
especially those concerning the river mouth bar are discussed.
