Abstract: In this study, a hydrodynamic model was developed to simulate tidal currents in the Hai Phong estuary, Vietnam. Three-dimensional thermo-dynamic primitive equations were used to investigate current velocity, water level, and the sediment transport. A special computing procedure was applied to the river boundaries because the tidal range in the area is approximately 4 m. We tested the effects of each quantity against the observed data during the dry season. The deposited and resuspended rates were confirmed by analytical shear stress solution in the wave-current coexisting field. This study was extended to study turbidity in the Do Son beach area.
