Understanding tidal dissipation in gaseous giant planets from their core to their surface
EPJ Web of Conferences, 2015 Tidal dissipation in planetary interiors is one of the key physical mechanisms that drive the evolution of star-planet and planet-moon systems. Tidal dissipation in planets is intrinsically related to their internal structure.

Bardsey – an island in a strong tidal stream: underestimating coastal tides due to unresolved topography [PDF]
Ocean Science, 2020 Bardsey Island is located at the western end of the Llŷn Peninsula in northwestern Wales. Separated from the mainland by a channel that is some 3 km wide, it is surrounded by reversing tidal streams of up to 4 m s−1 during spring ...

Note on the redistribution and dissipation of tidal energy over mid-ocean ridges [PDF]
Tellus: Series A, Dynamic Meteorology and Oceanography, 2015 The redistribution and dissipation of internal wave energy arising from the conversion at mid-ocean ridges of the barotropic tide is studied in a set of numerical experiments.

EPJ Web of Conferences, 2015 Tidal dissipation in stars and planets is one of the key physical mechanisms that drive the evolution of planetary systems. It intrinsically depends on the nature of the tidal response of celestial bodies, which is directly linked to their internal ...

The fate of Earth during the Sun’s giant phases
Astronomy & AstrophysicsContext. The long-term evolution of planetary systems around solar-type stars is governed by the interplay between stellar expansion, tidal interactions, and mass loss during the red giant branch (RGB) and asymptotic giant branch (AGB) phases.

Modern Tidal Interaction Models for Rapid Binary Population Synthesis. I. Methods
The Astrophysical JournalIn this work, we present an updated prescription of contemporary tidal dissipation theory adapted for rapid binary population synthesis. Our simplified expressions encode the dependence of tidal dissipation on stellar structure, stratification, and tidal

Analysis of Io’s tidal response as a function of the properties of the partially molten layer
Astronomy & AstrophysicsContext. Io’s internal heat, generated by Jupiter-driven tidal dissipation and the Laplace resonance, partially melts the mantle. However, the resulting melt fraction, depth, and spatial distribution of dissipation remain poorly constrained. Aims. We use

Tidal Dissipation Regimes among the Short-period Exoplanets
The Astrophysical Journal Letters, 2023 The efficiency of tidal dissipation provides a zeroth-order link to a planet’s physical properties. For super-Earth and sub-Neptune planets in the range R _⊕ ≲ R _p ≲ 4 R _⊕ , particularly efficient dissipation (i.e., low tidal quality factors) may ...

The Astrophysical JournalMoon formation by a high-angular-momentum (high-AM) giant impact may be best able to explain Earth–Moon isotopic similarities. However, the excess AM must be subsequently removed for consistency with the Earth–Moon system.

Local dissipation ratio of internal tides at key topographic features in the South China Sea [PDF]
Ocean ScienceThe local dissipation ratio of internal tides, q*, is a critical parameter in tidal mixing parameterizations. However, the conventionally adopted constant value of 0.3 in large-scale ocean models neglects its significant spatiotemporal variability. Based
