Innovative on-Shore System recovering Energy from Tidal Currents

Cross-shore suspended sediment transport under tidal currents

The transport of sediment over an intertidal mudflat by a cross-shore tidal current is investigated analytically by formulating a mathematical model of the fluid and particulate motion. The model exploits the low gradient of the intertidal flats and is based upon a shallow-layer approximation. It is found that the sediment transport comprises advection with the mean flow, deposition and erosion...

Modeling of tidal currents effect on PersianGulf density using MIKE model

General circulation of Persian Gulf has a cyclonic pattern that affected by tide, wind stress and thermohaline force. Although tidal force is very effective in values of current speed, but thermohaline force is dominant in long time because tidal forcing has a short period and returning nature. Tide and density parameters are important in navigating and shipping, especially when ships approachi...

Recovering from Operating System Errors

User applications and data in volatile memory are usually lost when an operating system crashes because of errors caused by either hardware or software faults. This is because most operating systems are designed to stop operation when some internal errors are detected irrespective of the possibility that user data and applications might still be intact and recoverable. Techniques like exception...

Estimation of Nearshore Tidal Currents on Nonsmooth Continental Shelves

The theory of Battisti and Clarke (1982) to calculate analytically barotropic tidal currents across 'smooth' continental margin topography is shown to be valid near shore on 'nonsmooth' continental shelves. The theory includes longshore gradients and friction and produces formulae easily evaluated with coastal sea level data. The tidal currents across three such shelves (West Florida, south of ...
