Tides
• What are the characteristics and causes of
tides?
– Tides are caused by the gravitational force ofthe moon and sun and the motion of earth.
– The wavelength of tides can be half the
circumference of earth.
– Tides are forced waves because they are neverfree of the forces that cause them.

The Euilibrium Theory of Tides
The action of gravity and inertia on particles at five different locations onEarth. Forces are balanced only at point CE, the center of Earth. Note thebulges that are aligned with the moon as Earth spins on its axis. The keyto understanding the equilibrium theory of tides is to see Earth turning
beneath these bulges.

Euilibrium Tidal Theory
• !oon Tide – Produced by the moon"s gravitation force on
water
– # bulge of water is created by the moon"sgravitational force
– $entrifugal forces produces a bulge on theopposite side of the Earth
– $reates an area of low water between the tidal bulges
– The Earth ma%es one rotation in &' hours

Tidal (ay
• # lunar day is the time that elapses between whenthe moon is directly overhead and the ne)t time themoon is directly overhead.
• (uring one complete rotation of Earth *the &'+hoursolar day, the moon moves eastward -&.& degreesand Earth must rotate an additional /0 minutes to
place the moon in the e)act same position overhead.
• Thus a lunar day is &' hours /0 minutes long.• E)plains why tides arrive at any location 1 one hour
later each day

2pring and 3eap Tides
• 2pring Tides
– (uring the period of a new
moon the moon and sun
are lined up on the same
side of the Earth – Produces the greatest range
between high water and low
water
• 3eap Tides
– Produced when the moon is
at a right angle to the line of
centers of the Earth and the
sun – The range between high
and low water is small

Tides in $onfined 6asins
• 4ow do tides behave in confined basins?
• The tidal range is determined by basin
configuration
.

Tides in a narrow basin. Note that a true amphidromic system does not
develop because space for rotation is not available.

Tides in a $onfined 6asin
• Tidal ranges vary across the ocean basin
• ;argest variations occur at the edges
– Especially in bays and inlets – Energy is concentrated in a small area
• # mini amphidromic system develops
• E)treme tides in areas where there arenatural oscillation periods of -& or &' hours

• Tidal 6ore – # high often brea%ing
wave generated by a
tide crest thatadvances rapidly up anestuary or river
– Occurs in inlets and
some rivers e)posed togreat tidal fluctuations
– # true tidal wave

– $alculated by ta%ing the average of all the
changes in water level over several years
• 8lood tide
– Tide is rising

Tidal Power
• Tidal energy can be e)ploited in two ways5
– 6y building semi+permeable undersea tidal
turbines across estuaries with a high tidal range.
– 6y harnessing offshore tidal streams

• 4ow it wor%s5
– Water flow as basin fills or
empties drives turbines – 2imilar to a wind turbine
but goes in both directions
– Ceuires a daily tidal range
of /+> meters *1-/+&- feet,to be practical
– $haracteri:ed by low
capacity factors usually in
the range of &0+/I.
