Forecasting tidal currents from tidal levels using genetic algorithm

Ocean Engineering, 2012
Abstract Prediction of tidal current in the coastal region is an important activity in marine science. It is useful in taking operation- and planning-related decisions such as towing of vessels and monitoring of oil slick movements. It is also useful for fisheries and recreational activities.

Current Status of Tidal Power

Journal of Canadian Petroleum Technology, 1983
Introduction It goes without saying that tidal power is an environmentally clean, renewableenergy source. Although tidal energy is available in abundance, there arerelatively few locations in the world where the tidal range makes this form ofenergy economically exploitable under existing conditions.

Effects of Mean and Tidal Current Interaction on the Tidally Induced Residual Current

Journal of Physical Oceanography, 1987
Abstract A weakly nonlinear depth-dependent tidal model has been developed to study the effects of mean and tidal current interaction on the tidally induced residual current. The model is applied to the northern and southern sides of Georges Bank. The weakly nonlinear approximation is reasonable for the southern section, but only marginally applicable ...

Generating Power from Tidal Currents

Journal of Waterway, Port, Coastal, and Ocean Engineering, 2004
Power generation by tidal currents requires the establishment of a pressure difference across a turbine. This limits the power output to a fraction of the undisturbed energy flux through the same cross-sectional area, though the maximum possible value of this fraction is not well established.

Topographic rectification of tidal currents

Deep Sea Research Part B. Oceanographic Literature Review, 1983
Abstract The rectification of oscillatory tidal currents on the sloping sides of a low submarine bank is discussed using the moment method. This method has been previously used in shear dispersion studies where it is used to analyze the advection-diffusion equation.

Photogrammetric Measurement of Tidal Currents

Journal of the Surveying and Mapping Division, 1964
Conventional methods of measuring tidal current velocities generally use current meters. A method of supplementing this data has been developed using aerial photography and photogrammetric measurement techniques. The application of photogrammetry to current surveys requires the absolute orientation of photographs on stereoscopic plotting equipment and ...
