Tidal Channel Dynamics and Muddy Substrates: a Comparison Between a Wave Dominated and a Tidal Dominated System

Non - linear Tidal Distortion in Shallow Well - mixed Estuaries : a Synthesisa

The importance of asymmetric tidal cycles in the transport and accumulation of sediment in shallow well-mixed estuaries is well establishe!;L .Along the U.S. Atlantic Coast, tidal amplitude, bottom friction, and system geometry determine tidal distortion as documented at 54 tide gauges in 26 tidally dominated estuaries of varying geometry having negligible freshwater inflow. Analyses of sea-sur...

The Equilibrium-Tide Model for Tidal Friction

We derive from first principles equations governing (a) the quadrupole tensor of a star distorted by both rotation and the presence of a companion in a possibly eccentric orbit, (b) a functional form for the dissipative force of tidal friction, based on the concept that the rate of energy loss from a time-dependent tide should be a positive-definite function of the rate of change of the quadrup...

Asymptotic behavior of tidal damping in alluvial estuaries

[1] Tidal wave propagation can be described analytically by a set of four implicit equations, i.e., the phase lag equation, the scaling equation, the damping equation, and the celerity equation. It is demonstrated that this system of equations has an asymptotic solution for an infinite channel, reflecting the balance between friction and channel convergence. Subsequently, explicit expressions f...
