Tidal Energy Dissipation [PDF]
Nature, 1917 IN regard to my estimate of viscous dissipation of oceanic energy in its bearing on the slowing of the earth's rotation (Proc. Roy. Soc., A, 93, p. 348), I quite assent to Mr. Jeffreys's position (NATURE, vol. xcix., p. 405, July 19, 1917) that it is still open to doubt whether the viscosity of the ocean causes a very appreciable part of the earth's ...

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 ...

Mathematics, 2023 We have considered here a novel particular model for dynamics of a non-rigid asteroid rotation, assuming the added mass model instead of the concept of Viscoelastic Oblate Rotators to describe the physically reasonable response of a ‘rubble pile ...

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.

The Impact of Topographic Steepness on Tidal Dissipation at Bumpy Topography
Fluids, 2017 Breaking internal waves are an important contributor to mixing in the stratified ocean interior. We use two-dimensional, nonhydrostatic numerical simulations to examine the breaking of internal waves generated by tidal flow over sinusoidal bottom ...

Scaling laws to understand tidal dissipation in fluid planetary regions and stars I - Rotation, stratification and thermal diffusivity [PDF]
, 2015 Tidal dissipation in planets and stars is one of the key physical mechanisms driving the evolution of star-planet and planet-moon systems. Several signatures of its action are observed in planetary systems thanks to their orbital architecture and the ...

Dispersion processes in weakly dissipative tidal channels
Journal of Geophysical Research: Oceans, 2021 AbstractWe report the results of an extensive experimental campaign dedicated to the analysis of turbulent dispersion owing to the circulations in tidal environments, characterized by a tidal inlet and a channel with lateral tidal flats. We focus on weakly‐convergent and weakly‐dissipative estuaries or tidal embankments, where the internal waters ...

Glacial AMOC shoaling despite vigorous tidal dissipation: vertical stratification matters [PDF]
Climate of the PastDuring the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM), tidal dissipation was about 3-fold higher than today, which could have led to a considerable increase in vertical mixing.

Viscoelastic Tidal Dissipation in Giant Planets and Formation of Hot Jupiters Through High-Eccentricity Migration [PDF]
, 2013 We study the possibility of tidal dissipation in the solid cores of giant planets and its implication for the formation of hot Jupiters through high-eccentricity migration.

Accelerated Tidal Circularization Via Resonance Locking in KIC 8164262 [PDF]
, 2017 Tidal dissipation in binary star and planetary systems is poorly understood. Fortunately, eccentric binaries known as heartbeat stars often exhibit tidally excited oscillations, providing observable diagnostics of tidal circularization mechanisms and ...
