Abstract

Satellite remote sensing has been accepted generally in hydraulic study as an useful technique of flow visualization. In this paper, we present a method to numerically analyze the behavior of the river effluent with satellite remote sensing data. The method to find the effluent axis and estimate its diffusion area in the sea is presented and the effluent issued from the Shingu river is analyzed with Landsat TM-data as an example.
