[en] In this paper, the different approaches used to simulate the long-term advection of passive constituents on tidal shelves are discussed in the framework of large scale hydrodynamic modelling. The direct approach in which the unsteady mesoscale (tides and storm surges) and macroscale (monthly or seasonal mean processes) currents are used is very demanding in computer resources (CPU and memory). On the other hand, the use of residual velocities gives a larger understanding of the long-term transport processes and simplifies numerical treatments. However, the definition of such appropriate velocities is still an open question. In the context of large scale models, Lagrangian residuals are not applicable. Eulerian residual transport velocities fail to represent long-term motions when tidal non-linearities are important. The first order Lagrangian residual velocity introduced by Feng et al. (1986a) and generalized here is shown to be a very good solution. The North-Western European Continental Shelf (NWECS) is used as an example to compare the numerical solutions obtained with the different approaches.
