Tidal dynamics of shallow estuaries and lagoons is a complex matter that has attracted the attention of a large number of researchers over the last few decades. The main purpose of the present work is to study the intricate tidal dynamics of the Tagus estuary, which states as the largest estuary of the Iberian Peninsula and one of the most important wetlands in Portugal and Europe. Tagus has la...

a major part of tidal energy is usually dissipated by the interaction of tidal currents with bottom topography. gulf of oman is a marginal sea which has variable topography and its dominant tidal constituent is m2 semi-diurnal tide. in this paper, the interaction of barotropic tidal current with bottom topography is evaluated. this phenomenon causes the formation of internal tide. internal tide...

Thirteen repetitions of a cross-channel transect in the Khuran Channel within the Strait of Hormuz allowed the description of the mean flow and semidiurnal tidal properties of a northsouth transect. Water velocity profiles were obtained with a 614.4 kHz TRDI Work Horse Broadband ADCP along this 3.3 km long transect on 10 October 2014, the third day of secondary spring tide. The M2, M4 and M6 fr...

We present N-body simulations of globular clusters, in orbits around the Galaxy, in order to study quantitatively and geometrically the tidal effects they encounter. The clusters are modelised with multi-mass KingMichie models (Michie 1963), including mass segregation at initial conditions. The Galaxy is modelled as realistic as possible, with three components: bulge, disk and dark halo. The ma...

A high resolution modeling study is undertaken, with a 2.5-dimensional nonhydrostatic model, of the generation of internal waves induced by tidal motion over the ridges in Luzon Strait. The model is forced by the barotropic tidal components K1, M2, and O1. These tidal components, along with the initial density field, were extracted from data and models. As the barotropic tide moves over the Luz...

We study the linear, but fully non-adiabatic tidal response of a uniformly rotating, somewhat evolved (X c = 0.4), 10 M ⊙ main sequence star to the dominant l = 2 components of its binary companion's tidal potential. This is done numerically with a 2D implicit finite difference scheme. We assume the spin vector of the 10 M ⊙ star to be aligned perpendicular to the orbital plane and calculate th...

The equilibrium tide-generating forces in the lunar orbital plane of a planet of radius R are calculated for the case of N moons of mass Mi orbiting the planet at instantaneous polar coordinates (Di, αi). For the case of a single moon, there are only two high tides. For the case of two moons, it is found that there can exist a critical lunar orbital distance at which two high tides become unsta...
