A 3-D numerical model was used to simulate the suspended sediment transport in the Yellow River mouth and verified by the in-situ measurements.The temporal-spatial variation of the shear front was revealed from the numerical results,as well as its effects on the suspended sediment transport.Two patterns of the shear front,each of which lasts for 2 hours,were identified at the flood and ebb tide phases,respectively.The results suggested that the shear front be generated in the shallow area,then moved seaward and finally disappeared 2 hours later.It seemed that the generation of the shear front was resulted from the phase leading of the tides in the shallow area to that in the deep area by about 2 hours.It was interestingly indicated that the shear front acted as a barrage to the seaward transport of the suspended sediment,retaining the river sediment transport inside the shear front along the northward ebb current.The bathymetric data indicated that a deposition zone was formed in the landward side of the shear front together with erosion zone in its seaward side,which can be regarded as an important geomorphological response of the shear front to the long-term geomorphological evolution of the Yellow River mouth.
