Two-layer Exchange Flow

Two-Layer Exchange Flow is an estuarine exchange flow model that describes the gravitational circulation in stratified estuaries as a steady, density-driven flow system in which freshwater discharge from rivers forms a seaward-flowing upper layer and denser seawater intrudes landward as a compensating lower layer, distinguished by its simplification of estuarine dynamics into two vertically stacked, counter-advecting layers with sharp interfacial density contrast.
