Tidal Estuary Salt Wedge Lab 2D: Froude & Richardson Number Cross-Section

A 2D side-on estuary cross-section where salt-wedge intrusion length is driven by the real densimetric Froude number of the river outflow and the tide phase, with a live estuarine Richardson number classifying the mixing regime.

A side-on cross-section of the same tidal estuary as the 3D lab: instead of an eyeballed wedge, this version scales intrusion length directly from the river outflow's densimetric Froude number, modulates it by the tide phase, and shows a live estuarine Richardson number so you can check your chosen regime against its real textbook classification band.
