Breaking tidal bore: comparison between field data and laboratory experiments
نویسندگان
چکیده
A tidal bore is a surge of waters propagating upstream as the tidal flow turns to rising and the flood tide rushes into a funnel shaped river mouth with shallow waters. The present study focused on the unsteady turbulence induced by a breaking tidal bore through some physical modelling. The laboratory data were compared systematically with some field measurements conducted in the breaking bore of the Sélune River (France) by Mouazé et al. [12]. A key finding was the close agreement in terms of dimensionless free-surface and velocity data between laboratory and field observations. The results supported the implementation of the Froude dynamic similarity. Mots clefs : Mascaret déferlant, Mesures Physiques, Similitude, Mélange turbulent

Physical modelling of breaking tidal bores: comparison with prototype data
A tidal bore is a hydraulic jump in translation, propagating upstream as the tide turns to rising and the flood flow advances in a funnel-shaped river mouth under spring tide conditions. This study focused on the unsteady turbulence induced by a breaking tidal bore. Detailed free-surface and velocity measurements were conducted with a high temporal resolution using non-intrusive free-surface me...
متن کاملAtmospheric noise of a breaking tidal bore.
A tidal bore is a surge of waters propagating upstream in an estuary as the tidal flow turns to rising and the flood tide propagates into a funnel-shaped system. Large tidal bores have a marked breaking roller. The sounds generated by breaking tidal bores were herein investigated in the field (Qiantang River) and in laboratory. The sound pressure record showed two dominant periods, with some si...
متن کاملUnsteady Turbulence in Tidal Bores: Effects of Bed Roughness
A tidal bore is a wave propagating upstream as the tidal flow turns to rising. It forms during spring tide conditions when the flood tide is confined to a narrow funneled channel. To date, theoretical and numerical studies rely upon physical experiments to validate the developments, but the experimental data are limited mostly to visual observations and sometimes free-surface measurements. Here...
متن کاملUndular tidal bore dynamics in the Daly Estuary, Northern Australia
Measurements in the macro-tidal Daly Estuary show that the presence of an undular tidal bore contributed negligibly to the dissipation of tidal energy. No recirculation bubble was observed between a trough and the following wave crest in the lee waves following the undular bore. This differs to stationary undular bores in laboratory experiments at larger Froude numbers where a recirculation bub...

A tidal bore is a positive surge propagating upstream as the tidal flow turns to rising in river mouths exhibiting a converging funnelled channel forms during low freshwater conditions. While some recent laboratory experiments brought new insights to the turbulent motion generated by tidal bores, a numerical model based upon the Navier-Stokes equations is proposed to investigate the complicated...
