This report presents a study of conjunctive use of mathematical and physical models for estuarine hydrodynamics and salinity transport simulation. Two sets of mathematical models are developed which are capable of simulating both the inter-tidal and intra-tidal conditions as represented by an existing, well-calibrated hydraulic model. Suisun Bay, a significant portion of San Francisco Bay, is selected as a study area for this project. Data collected from the physical model which contain relatively less noise are used to calibrate the mathematical models by an automatic optimization routine.
