Revisiting linearized one?dimensional tidal propagation

In this paper we extend the validity of the classical linear solution for tidal hydrodynamics including the effects of width and depth convergence. Reworking such a solution in the light of externally defined, dimensionless parameters we are able to provide simple relationships to predict the most relevant features of the tidal wave at the...

Analytical description of tidal dynamics in convergent estuaries

Analytical solutions of the one-dimensional hydrodynamic equations for tidal wave propagation are now available and, in this paper, presented in explicit equations. For given topography, friction, and tidal amplitude at the downstream boundary, the velocity amplitude, the wave celerity, the tidal damping, and the phase lag can be computed. The...
