Sado estuary (Portugal) is a mesotidal well-mixed estuary. The flow however, displays strong three-dimensional features associated with bathymetry variations. The flow is simulated using a three-dimensional primitive equation model based on the finite-volume method and incorporating a new concept for the vertical discretization. The innovative features of the model are analysed and the advantages of the finite-volume method to implement the generic vertical discretization are put into evidence. The model was validated using water level, velocity and salinity measurements in several stations along the estuary. Results show the influence of main channel's strong curvature on the generation of secondary flows inside the estuary. The steep bathymetry of the...
