Pearl River is one of the most important rivers in water resource system of South China. East River, West River and North River conflux at Pearl River estuary with eight bayous flowing into South China Sea. The characteristics of flow and tide in this sea area are in complex condition. Based on systematic analysis on historical research achievements for Pearl River Estuary, a 2-D mathematics model for large scale area including shallow sea area of eight bayous was approached to execute hydraulic numerical simulations under different hydrographic conditions separately. Approaching from analysis on the calculation results of flow vector field, potential lines and coastal current distribution, the movement features and regularities for tide current at Pearl River estuary were studied with emphasis in this paper.
