Contaminants, nutrients and sediment particles flow into inland and coastal water bodiesoften forming turbulent jets. The aim of the present research is to improve our capability todescribe how jets interact with the environment they discharge into, providing usefulinsights for possible mitigation of undesired and harmful impacts. Here, we focus on thecase of a jet interacting with an obstructed flow under the effect of the Coriolis force as isoften the case with large scale rivers discharging into the sea in vegetated environments.
