PERIODIC FLOWS FROM TIDAL INLETS

Engineering of Tidal Inlets and Morphologic Consequences

Tidal inlets are part of the coastal sediment-sharing system, and an inlet will modify the nearshore and estuary morphology, as well as the up-drift and down-drift beaches. Morphologic response to an inlet varies over several time and spatial scales. This chapter discusses inlet morphology and related functional design considerations that must balance navigation and shoreprotection requirements...

Tidal Flows from Asynchronous Rotation in Binaries

Asynchronous rotation in binary stars produces non-radial oscillations that are known to cause observable variability on orbital timescales. The horizontal perturbations of the surface velocity fields are referred to as “tidal flows”. In this paper we illustrate the manner in which tidal flows perturb the surface velocity field from that of uniform rotation, using a one-layer stellar model for ...
