Two-layer Flow Structure

Two-Layer Flow Structure is a hydrodynamic configuration in estuarine systems characterized by the stratification of water into two distinct vertical layers—typically a fresher, faster-moving upper layer and a denser, slower-moving lower layer—driven by salinity and density gradients, which governs the exchange of momentum, salt, and nutrients in partially mixed and highly stratified estuaries.
