Numerical simulation of tidal bores and hydraulic jumps
Coastal Engineering, 2005An implicit finite difference formulation of the nonlinear shallow water equations is developed to allow for the treatment of tidal bores and hydraulic jumps. Five different schemes are investigated involving upwind treatment of convective terms, central differences combined with dissipative interface, forward time-centering and various combinations of

Tidal Bores, Aegir, Eagre, Mascaret, Pororoca
2011A tidal bore is a series of waves propagating upstream as the tidal flow turns to rising. It forms during spring tide conditions when the tidal range exceeds 4 to 6 m and the flood tide is confined to a narrow funnelled estuary. Its existence is based upon a fragile hydrodynamic balance between the tidal amplitude, the freshwater river flow conditions ...

Acoustic Wave Propagation through a Tidal Bore
The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 1973Large thermal fluctuations associated with internal tidal waves can lead to highly asymmetric wave profiles having the characteristics of internal tidal bores. An acoustic wave propagated through a medium in which such a phenomenon is in progress can undergo amplitude variations exceeding 30 dB.

Perspective on the Tidal Bore: Background and Initiation
Volume 1: Symposia, Parts A and B, 2012Tidal bores have been the subject or cause of legend, poetry, recreation, tourism, shipping disasters, and scientific interest for centuries. They pose interesting theoretical questions for the engineer. Introductory details are presented regarding the remarkable tidal bore phenomenon, including discussion of the tidal bore in various locations and a ...
