Mixing and dispersion role of tidal bores [PDF]
When a river mouth has a flat converging shape and when the tidal range exceeds 6 to 9 m, the river may experience a tidal bore. A tidal bore is basically a positive surge propagating upstream as the tidal flow turns to rising. The occurrence of a bore has a significant impact on estuarine systems.

A quantitative criterion to predict the occurrence of tidal bores [PDF]
-Tidal bores are fascinating phenomena that occurs in the estuary of many tidal rivers worldwide. -Tidal bores have significant repercussions on ecology and morphodynamics of an estuary. -Despite the interest, a predictive criterion for tidal bore occurrence is still missing.

Environmental Impact of Undular Tidal Bores in Tropical Rivers [PDF]
A tidal bore impacts significantly on the estuarine ecosystem, although little is known on the flow field, mixing and sediment motion beneath tidal bores.

Abstract It was shown long ago by Airy that when waves advance over shallow water of depth originally uniform, the crests tend to gain upon the hollows, so that the anterior slopes become steeper and steeper. Ultimately, if the conditions are favourable, there formed what is be may called a bore.

Tidal Bores of England, Scotland and Wales : Viewing tips and sightseeing ideas
In some estuaries, a spectacular wave travels inland against the water flow on the highest tides. This natural wonder is a tidal bore and, of the hundred or so worldwide, about twenty occur in the UK.

Off-bottom turbulence expansions of unbounded flow over a deep-ocean ridge
Internal wave breaking upon sloping seafloors is a potential source of turbulent mixing in the deep-ocean, but we lack details on off-bottom breaking. Turbulence processes are relevant for the dispersal away from the seafloor of suspended materials like ...

Kajian Numerik Fenomena Undular Tidal Bores Dalam Mempengaruhi Proses Erosi Pada Daerah Aliran Sungai (Numerical Study of Undular Tidal Bores Phenomenon in Influencing Erosion Processes of Watersheds) [PDF]
Riverbank erosion is one indication of watershed damage. One of the causes is the phenomenon of tidal bores waves that occur in a river channel.The strength of tidal bores wave's can be measured based on its shear force parameter and dissipation energy ...

Observation of Optical Undular Bores in Multiple Four-Wave Mixing
We demonstrate that wave-breaking dramatically affects the dynamics of nonlinear frequency conversion processes that operate in the regime of high efficiency (strong multiple four-wave mixing).
