Mixing by Tidal Interaction with Sloping Boundaries
The process of mixing by tides interacting with topography involves several stages. First some fraction of the energy contained in the barotropic tide must be converted into baroclinic energy, through the generation of internal tides and turbulent boundary layers. Secondly, the energy in the internal tides must be transmitted into smaller vertical wavelengths, thereby increasing the vertical sh...
متن کاملTidal Conversion by Subcritical Topography
Analytical estimates of the rate at which energy is extracted from the barotropic tide at topography and converted into internal gravity waves are given. The ocean is idealized as an inviscid, vertically unbounded fluid on the f plane. The gravity waves are treated by linear theory and freely escape to z 5 `. Several topographies are investigated: a sinusoidal ripple, a set of Gaussian bumps, a...
متن کاملTidal Conversion by Supercritical Topography
Calculations are presented of the rate of energy conversion of the barotropic tide into internal gravity waves above topography on the ocean floor. The ocean is treated as infinitely deep, and the topography consists of periodic obstructions; a Green function method is used to construct the scattered wavefield. The calculations extend the previous results of Balmforth et al. for subcritical top...
متن کاملCross-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...

PAN, C. and HUANG, W., 2010. Numerical modeling of suspended sediment transport in Qiantang River: an estuary affected by tidal bore. Journal of Coastal Research, 26(6), 1123–1132. West Palm Beach (Florida), ISSN 0749-0208. Study of suspended sediment transport in an estuary affected by tidal bore is important for coastal engineering and management because the tidal bore can cause strong sedime...
