Fundamental study on the tidal residual circulation,II

The tidal residual circulation in a bay was investigated by means of a hydraulic model experiment. In addition to the experiment in the previous paper, some other experiments were carried out to study the effect of external parameters to the tidal residual flow. The ratio of the kinetic energy of tidal residual flows to that of tidal currents in the bay depends on the Reynolds number. With the training wall at the mouth, the vorticity transfer from the tidal current to the tidal residual flow sharply decreases. As a result the remarkable tidal residual circulation in the bay does not occur.
