This book examines rive tidal dynamics and associated morphodynamics under combined river and tidal forcing. Non-stationary tidal analysis by two methods, i.e. harmonic analysis and continuous wavelet transformation, is conducted on the data in the Yangtze River estuary. Data analysis reveals strong river tidal interactions and non-linear modulation of tides by river discharge. Analysis of long-term morphodynamic modeling results suggests three important mechanisms driving residual sediment transport, namely river flow, river-tide interaction and tidal asymmetry. The morphodynamic equilibrium is approached in long-term by reducing gradients of residual sediment transport and empirical relationships.
