Tidal bores - Open Access .click

2019
A tidal bore is perhaps the most spectacular tidal phenomenon that can be readily observed. When a large tide enters a shallow, funnel-shaped estuary with a gently sloping bottom, its waveform is distorted and this can lead to an impressive rolling ‘wall of water’, travelling upriver.

Physically based simulation of tidal bore

2009 11th IEEE International Conference on Computer-Aided Design and Computer Graphics, 2009
Tidal bore is a peculiar nature phenomenon which is caused by the lunar and solar gravitation. Based on the physical characters of tidal bores, in this paper we propose a novel method to model and render this phenomenon, especially the tidal waves in Qiantang estuary.

Formation and Propagation of Tidal Bore

Journal of Waterway, Port, Coastal, and Ocean Engineering, 1995
In a tidal river, the peak value of the discharge occurs earlier than the peak value of the tidal elevation. The high water level of a tidal wave moves faster than the low water level, and as a result the slope of the wave-surface profile, in the direction of propagation, increases from high water to low and decreases from low water to high.
