A simple model for current speed in tidal channels

Auteur :
ANTHONY, D.

Description :
This paper presents a simple non-distributed, PC-based model describing current speed in a tidal channel based on the continuity equation with tide gauge water level as the only time dependent input parameter. This model is tested in a tidal channel in the Danish Wadden Sea. This type of model can be used to extend and/or complete time series of current speed in a particular tidal channel and to make quick estimates of the current speed, with a minimum of information and CPU consumption.
