Mass Balance in Eulerian-Lagrangian Transport Simulations in Estuaries

This paper investigates the generation of flow mass errors in finite element shallow water models and the effect of these errors in the mass conservation of Eulerian-Lagrangian transport simulations. Flow mass errors are shown to be similar for several primitive and wave equation formulations. These...
