Stive, M.J.F. (author), Ji, L. (author), Brouwer, R.L. (author), Van de Kreeke, J. (author), Ranasinghe, R.W.M.R.J.B. (author)The well-known empirical relationship between the equilibrium cross-sectional area of tidal inlet entrances (A) and the tidal prism (P), first developed by O’Brien (1931), has been extensively reviewed. Our theoretical investigations indicate that a unique A-P relationship should only be expected for clusters of inlets that are phenomenological...conference paper 2010

Stive, M.J.F. (author), Rakhorst, R.D. (author)Although other engineers had considered the relationship between tidal prism and inlet crosssectional area before, it is O’Brien who is usually credited for deriving the familiar relationship A = aPm, where A is the cross-sectional area (relative to mean sea level) and P is the spring tidal prism. The coefficients a and m vary from entrance to...journal article 2008
