Abstract: A numerical model is developed to solve the simultaneous differential equations of the continuity, Navier-Stokes and salt balance equations. A predictor-corrector method is used. The model investigates various assumptions of entrainment and the result shows that a functional form of the frictional velocity is the better assumption. The model is useful to explore entrainment and diffusion effects on the longitudinal distribution of salinity in which diffusion is a controlling factor. The calculated results compare well with observed field data in the Hudson Estuary.
