| Abstract | It was found that the Coriolis effect is significant or pronounced for the case of wind driven current, however it is doubtful whether the Coriolis effect is significant for the case of tidal motion. In this study the Coriolis effect on tidal current will be studied for various latitude, period, water depth and size of canal using mathematical model of reflection of the Kelvin wave in rectangular canal opened at one end. It is found that no definite way presently available to define the rotation of tidal current. From this study and setting up the criteria in
finding out the rotation of tidal current that the cross-canal current is the dominant current. Therefore, the Ross by number is selected as controlling parameter t o determine the relative magnitude of rotation of tidal current. Coriolis effect is significant only in the neighborhood of the reflecting wall. |
