Sažetak
A detail sampling campaign was conducted in 2015 to determine salinity structure in the lower reaches of Rječina River, a small karstic river in the coastal part of Croatia. The measurements confirmed a presence of a highly stratified salt wedge. Furthermore, a one- dimensional two layer numerical model based on a finite volume scheme was applied to simulate dynamic processes in the estuary. Field measurements were used for comparison and calibration of the interfacial drag coefficient. For one considered case where freshwater discharge was the dominant factor agreement between the numerical model and measurements was excellent.
