Tidal Dissipation in Oceans on Titan

Icarus, 1995
Titan's large free eccentricity results in significant tidal dissipation. This can be used to constrain the existence and depth of hydrocarbon oceans. A hydrodynamical-numerical 2 deg ocean tide model has been constructed to investigate this connection. The model allows some simple land configurations.

Tidal dissipation in the earth and planets

Physics of the Earth and Planetary Interiors, 1968
The discrepancy between seismic and tidal effective Q values can be attributed to dissipation in the shallow seas. At the present time there is no need to invoke frequency or amplitude dependence. Present data does not allow an accurate determination for dissipation in the Earth's interior from tidal or astronomical data but bounds can be placed on ...

Energy dissipation in a tidal estuary

Journal of Geophysical Research, 1969
The extent and mechanism of the dissipation of tidal energy were studied for Coos Bay, a coastal plain estuary located on the central Oregon coast. The energy required to provide the observed mixing and increase in potential energy has been compared with the energy lost through tidal damping.

Dissipation of energy through tidal deformation

Astrophysics and Space Science, 1974
The aim of the present paper will be to derive an equation of dissipation of energy for a rotating body of arbitrary viscosity distorted by tides, which arise from the gravitational field of its companion in a close pair of such bodies. By a transformation of the fundamental equation of energy dissipation in terms of velocity of tidal deformation ...

Tidal Dissipation in the Oceans

1978
The energy balance per unit of sea floor is $$ \frac{d}{{dt}}\left( {KE} \right) + \frac{d}{{dt}}\left( {PE} \right) + \frac{d}{{dt}} \cdot {\nabla _s}\left( {energyflux} \right) = \frac{{dW}}{{dt}} + \frac{{dE}}{{dt}} $$ (1) KE is the kinetic energy of the tidal currents, PE the potential energy, both per unit of surface.

Tidal Dissipation in the System WASP-46

Journal of Experimental and Theoretical Physics, 2018
The change in the orbital period of the system WASP-46 due to quasi-static and dynamical tidal interactions is investigated. Various dissipation mechanisms are studied. In the case of quasi-static tides, dissipation is assumed to occur due to turbulent viscosity, while in the case of dynamical tides, two limiting cases are considered: the regime of ...

Saturnian Tidal Dissipation from Astrometric Observations

2010
Orbital satellite evolution is crucially linked to tidal dissipation inside the primary. Recently, tidal dissipation inside Jupiter has been derived successfully from the monitoring of the Galilean satellite motions, thanks to accurate astrometric observations dispatched over a wide time span.

Tidal Dissipation and Observable Orbital Decay Windows

Theoretical and Natural Science
Close-in exoplanets offer natural laboratories for starplanet tidal dissipation, but direct observations of orbital decay are few and far between, limiting empirical constraints on stellar tidal quality. Existing investigations are often data-model-intensive and in observationally poor planning, which results in a lack of guidance about quickly ...
