| Abstract: | Dynamic characteristics of sea currents in the Yellow River Estuary, such as tidal current, residual current and storm surges are studied and the direction and quantity of sediment dispersion are analyzed in the paper. The resultant direction of sediment dispersion is found northeast. The sea currents transport 40% of the total sediment load from the Yellow River to the mid sea. Optimum direction of the Yellow River outlet for full utilizing the sea currents to transport sediment to the mid sea, and strategies for stabilizing the Yellow River outlet are proposed. |
