Tidal Dynamics and Modeling

Tides are periodic changes in sea level driven by gravitational interactions between
the Earth, Moon, and Sun. Tidal dynamics influence coastal hydrodynamics,
sediment transport, and marine ecosystems. Accurate modeling of tides is crucial for
coastal engineering and navigation safety.

Tidal motion consists of semi-diurnal and diurnal components, with variations due
to basin geometry, Coriolis force, and local bathymetry. Tide-dominant regions often
feature extensive mudflats, estuaries, and deltas.

Tidal modeling is conducted using harmonic analysis or numerical methods. MIKE


21 HD and TELEMAC are commonly used tools that solve shallow water equations
under tidal forcing. Boundary conditions are derived from global tide models or tide
gauge data.

Applications include flood prediction, port design, and environmental impact


assessments. Coupling tide models with sediment and water quality modules
provides a comprehensive understanding of coastal systems.

In conclusion, modeling tidal dynamics is essential for managing risks and ensuring
the resilience of coastal infrastructure. Accurate predictions improve planning,
navigation, and environmental protection.
