Abstract: The Yellow River is called “the Mother River” in China. The Yellow River Estuary is the closest area to the Bohai Sea, in which the Yellow River delta and its related land are included. The broadest and most complete native wetland ecosystem in the warm temperate zone of China is dynamically generated by unique water and sediment conditions and the weak tidal dynamic environment in the Yellow River Estuary. There are few researches, in the current, on the hydrodynamic simulation of the Yellow River Estuary, and the effective river flow simulation of the Yellow River Estuary is important for the control of water and sediment in the lower Yellow River. Therefore, hydrologic and hydrodynamic methods are employed to simulate the riverway flow process and calculate the flow propagation time in different sections in this paper. The study can provide scientific basis for ecological protection and water resources management in the Yellow River Estuary area.
