This study presents the behavior of unsteady saline wedge in which it is examined velocity profile variations at the lower layer (inner wedge) and wedge tip responses to a tidal action in a rectangular open channel. Unsteady saline wedge has just tidal excursions corresponding to tidal amplitudes at the river mouth, although two wedge tips in flood and ebb tide remarkably have different shapes. Maximum velocities at the lower layer appear immediately from high water to low water level (or low to high water). Numerical computation results obtained by only just interfacial friction factor at the steady state show satisfactory agreements with experimental data. However, the numerical model on one-demensional two-layer flor still has some problems to date.
