Tidal diffraction by a small island or cape, and tidal power from a coastal barrier
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 11 June 2020
Abstract
The tidal waves scattered by a small island and a small cape of elliptical shape are derived by the method of matched asymptotics. The results complement the irrotational flow approximation of the near field by Proudman (Proc. Lond. Math. Soc., vol. 14, 1915, pp. 89–102). The potential for harnessing tidal power is assessed for the limiting case of a coast-connected thin dam.
