For a continuous function f(x, y) of two independent variables x and y, knownat, say, x = x0 then it can be approximated at another location on the x axis,x0 + Δx, as;

-where the derivatives of f(x, y) are all taken at x = x0, the location for whichthe function is known.

-For very small values of Δx, the terms involving (Δx)n, where n>1, are verymuch smaller & can be neglected.

-Through the use of the Taylor series, it is possible to develop relationshipsbetween fluid properties at two closely spaced locations.

Methods of studying fluid motion

1. Lagrangian method-to answer, What occurs to a given particle offluid as it moves along its own path ?

2. Eulerian method-to answer, What occurs at a given point in spaceoccupied by a fluid in motion ?

Gives the velocity and pressure at a given point & Most frequentlyused in hydrodynamics.

The primary aim of fluid mechanics, in the field of ocean and coastalengineering, is to estimate the two fundamental quantities;

-Pressure (a scalar quantity)

-Velocity (a vector quantity)

These two parameters to be estimated everywhere in the fluid field and the density is assumed to constant for incompressible fluids.

Important of TidesTides have a say in our everyday’s language;

“time and tide wait for none !”

Tides are always important to engineers, because;

Tides produce strong currents in many parts of the ocean. Tidal currentscan have speeds of up to 5 m/s in coastal waters, affecting navigationand mixing coastal waters.

Tidal currents generate internal waves over seamounts, continental slopes,and mid-ocean ridges.

Tidal mixing helps drive the deep circulation, and it influences climate andabrupt climate change.

Tidal currents can suspend bottom sediments, even in the deep ocean.

Greatest scientists worked for the last four centuries to understand,calculate, and predict tides. To name a few; Galileo, Descartes, Kepler,Newton, Euler, Bernoulli, Kant, Laplace, Airy, Lord Kelvin, Jeffreys,Munk and many others.

Tides and effects

Dr. BALAJI Ramakrishnan, Assistant Professor, Dept. of Civil Engg., IIT Bombay. email: [email protected]

Important of TidesIn spite of all these research, the following question remains;

What is the amplitude &

phase of the tides at any place on the ocean or along the coast?

What is the speed &

direction of tidal currents?

What is the shape of the tides on the ocean?

Where is tidal energy dissipated?

Finding answers to these simple questions is difficult.

The first, accurate, global maps of deep-sea tides were only published in1994 (LeProvost et al. 1994).

Theory of TidesTides are generated by two major systems;

Sun-Earth system &

Moon-Earth system.

Sun-Earth System:

The tide-generating forces may be developed by considering differences inthe gravitational attraction of the sun at various locations on the earth.

At the center of mass of the earth thegravitational attraction must be a valuejust necessary to keep the earth in itsorbit around the sun.

F1>F2, as it is close to sun.

F3<F2, as it is away from sun.

The differences (D) will form a symmetricalegg-shaped distention (referred as tidalbulge of the ocean waters).

day. The mean solar day is the period of 24solar hours.

Starting with the point on the equator toward thesun, the point experiences a maximum in thesolar tide-generating force; six hours later, aminimum; then a maximum at twelve hours; aminimum again at eighteen hours; and finallyback to the maximum at the conclusion of thesolar day.

The lunar day is slightly longer than solar day (24.84 solar hours).

Theory of Tides: Spring & NeapThe range of tide, defined as the vertical difference in height between

consecutive high and low tides, varies from place to place and also variesover time.

The combination of the solar and lunar envelopes during the synodic month(period of moon’s phases) causes spring tides and neap tides.

The lunar tide is 2.16 times more influential than the solar tide, as themoon is closer to earth than sun (although the mass of sun is huge!).

When the moon is new or full, the tide-generating forces of the sun andmoon are aligned.

The high tides of the solar envelope occur at the same time as the high tidesof the lunar. This increases the height of the composite high tides, calledas Spring tides.

Dr. BALAJI Ramakrishnan, Assistant Professor, Dept. of Civil Engg., IIT Bombay. email: [email protected]

Theory of Tides: Spring & NeapWhen the moon is in its first/third quarter, the tide generating forces of the

sun are at right angles to those of the moon.

The envelope of the tide-generating forces of the sun is shown to conflictwith the force envelope of the moon. The low tides of the solar envelopeoccur at the times of the high tides of the lunar.

This reduces the height of the composite high tides, called as Neap tides.

Tidal Hydrodynamics

Both the Moon and the Earth revolve in elliptical orbits and the distancesfrom their centers of attraction vary.

Increased gravitational influences and tide-raising forces are produced whenthe Moon is at position of perigee.

Though the centrifugal acceleration is the sameeverywhere on the earth, but the gravitational force dueto the moon/sun varies over the surface of the earth.

Types of TidesIf the Earth were a perfect sphere without large continents, all areas on the

planet would experience two equally proportioned high and low tidesevery lunar day.

The large continents on the planet, however, block the westward passage ofthe tidal bulges as the Earth rotates.

Unable to move freely around the globe, these tides establish complexpatterns.

Within each ocean basin that often differ greatly from tidal patterns ofadjacent ocean basins or other regions of the same ocean basin.

Most coastal areas, with some exceptions, experience two high tides andtwo low tides every lunar day.

Characteristics of TidesAs the gravitational forces of sun and moon are time varying, the tide is

also a time varying phenomenon.

Similar to waves, tides have;

Height, H, the vertical distance between the level of a crest and the levelof a trough (amplitude, A, is one half the height),

Length, L, the horizontal distance from one crest to the next,

Period, T, the time interval between the occurrence of two successivecrests at a fixed point, and

Speed (celerity), C, the length divided by the period, C = L / T.

Tidal waves are always shallow water waves. That is, the length of a tidalwave is very much longer than the depth.

Therefore, the particulate motion that makes up the wave is just back andforth.

This back and forth particulate motion in a tidal wave is called the tidalcurrent.

Characteristics of TidesApart from solar & lunar effects, the tide is influenced by many other

factors.

Each one of the tide-generating motions, represented by a simple harmoniccosine curve, is known as a tidal component, tidal constituent, orharmonic constituent.

S2 - Principal Solar semidiurnal constituent (12 hrs)

M2- Principal Lunar semidiurnal constituent (12.42 hrs)

N2 & L2- Larger Lunar Elliptic semidiurnal constituent and the SmallerLunar Elliptic semidiurnal constituent. These two are assumedconstituents to represent the cycle of perigee to perigee.

K1 & O1- Luni-solar Declinational diurnal constituent & the PrincipalLunar Declinational diurnal constituent. Also assumed constituents torepresent the cycle of maximum declination to maximum declination ofthe moon.

Predictionof TidesFrom the tidal level measurement (at least for 19yrs) at a particular

location, the tidal constituents can be obtained by analyzing the timehistories.

The analysis is called as harmonic analysis, as it involves extracting theperiods of various components.

From a harmonic analysis of the observed water level series, two values areobtained for each tidal constituent.

Amplitude, the vertical distance between mean tide level and the level of thecrest is one of the values.

And the phase lag, the amount of time elapsed from the maximumastronomic event to the first maximum of its corresponding constituenttide, is usually expressed in degrees.

Harmonic constants are unique to the particular station location fromwhich they were derived.

Tides in bays, estuaries & harbours

Estuaries/creek are formedwhen rivers meet the sea.

Generally, an estuary is asemi-enclosed river mouthor bay where saltyseawater is diluted byfreshwater from rivers andcreeks.

Tides in bays, estuaries & harboursTides can be described in terms of waves. For a tidal wave, the crest is a

high tide and the trough is a low tide. The height of a tidal wave is therange (or tidal range) and the mean of the high and the low tides iscalled mean tide level.

In most gulfs and estuaries of the world, the tidal waves behave as either aprogressive wave or a standing wave.

The horizontal component of the particulate motion under the high tidearea is going in the same direction as the tidal wave form and is known asthe flood tidal current (or flood tide). Its maximum is directly under a hightide.

The particulate motion under the lowtide area is going in the oppositedirection as the tidal wave form and isknown as the ebb tidal current (or ebbtide). Its maximum is directly under alow tide.

Tides in bays, estuaries & harboursWhen a progressive tidal wave encounters a barrier such as a coast,

embayment, head of an estuary, etc., it reflects upon itself to form astanding wave.

Tides in bays, estuaries & harboursThe tide inside the estuary experiences bottom and internal friction and get

attenuated. Its reflection continues to dampen as it moves seaward.Hence, a perfect standing wave never produced.

Depending upon the estuary’s length and depth, if a node of the estuarywave happens to be near the entrance, the range of the estuarine tidewill be greatly amplified.

Where as if an antinode is near,there will be no significantincrease from this effect.

The tides in Gulf of Khambat isan example of this process. Thetidal range is 9m.

The highest tide is experiencedin Bay of Fundy, North America.The tidal range is 16m !!.

Tides in bays, estuaries & harboursTidal inlets provide both man and nature with a means of access between

the ocean and a bay.

Commercial and recreational vessels need a navigable channel for safetransit to interior harbors.

The flow of currents into and out of a bay through an inlet provides naturalflushing to maintain good water quality and reasonable salinity levels.The migration of fish, fish larvae, and other sea life through the inletconduit is also an important function of an inlet.

Successful engineering of inlets requires knowledge of water and sedimentmovement in and adjacent to the inlet.

Tides in bays, estuaries & harboursTidal bores:

The tidal bore is a tidal wave that propagates up a relatively shallow andsloping estuary or river in a solitary wave form.

The leading edge presents an abrupt rise in level, frequently withcontinuous breaking and often immediately followed by severalundulations.

Tidal bore is usually associated with very large ranges in tide as well aswedge shaped and rapidly shoaling entrances.

Tidal bores tend to occur in river estuaries wherefunneling in the entrance topography helps toincrease the range and the river flow tends toretard, and therefore build up, the wave.

Tidal bores occur in several river estuariesthroughout the world. In India, tidal boresoccur at Hooghly River, West Bengal.

Tide induced currentsThe horizontal movement of water particle under the tide causes “tidal

current”.

Speed/velocity of the tidal current affect navigation of ships and can causepollution.

On the other hand, with large tidal current, one can tap tidal power.

Tidal Hydrodynamics

Another common way to illustrate how tidalcurrents vary in space, either horizontally orwith depth, is to use tidal ellipses.

The red lines indicate the direction at which thecurrent is pointing at a given time. Blue-counterclockwise; Green-clockwise rotation.
