Method involves a summation of all the constituents at a given place by making use of the known amplitudes and phases of these constituents. T(t) = Z0 + Hn fn cos nt-gn +(Vn +un). Where Z0 is the mean sea level, Hn and gn are the amplitude and phase of the n th constituent. Vn adjusts the phases to.

• In both cases described above, it is important to be sure of the exact busbar inductance for reliable design. In this paper, a simplified method of calculating busbar inductance is proposed. This method is based on the partial inductance theory. In particular, the characteristics of a pair of busbars, and the use of the method are described.

The theory of tides is the application of continuum mechanics to interpret and predict the tidal deformations of planetary and satellite bodies and their atmospheres and oceans (especially Earth's oceans) under the gravitational loading of another astronomical body or bodies (especially the Moon and Sun).

History[edit]

Kepler[edit]

In 1609 Johannes Kepler correctly suggested that the gravitation of the Moon causes the tides,^[1] basing his argument upon ancient observations and correlations. The influence of the Moon on tides was mentioned in Ptolemy's Tetrabiblos as having derived from ancient observation.

Galileo[edit]

In 1616, Galileo Galilei wrote Discourse on the Tides (Discorso sul flusso e il reflusso del mare),^[2] in a letter to Cardinal Orsini. In this discourse, he tried to explain the occurrence of the tides as the result of the Earth's rotation and revolution around the Sun. Galileo believed that the oceans moved like water in a large basin: as the basin moves, so does the water.^[3] Therefore, as the Earth revolves, the force of the Earth's rotation causes the oceans to 'alternately accelerate and retardate'.^[4] His view on the oscillation and 'alternately accelerated and retardated' motion of the Earth's rotation is a 'dynamic process' that deviated from the previous dogma, which proposed 'a process of expansion and contraction of seawater.'^[5] However, Galileo's theory was erroneous.^[2] In subsequent centuries, further analysis led to the current tidal physics. Galileo rejected Kepler's explanation of the tides. Galileo's argument for the movement of the Earth around the Sun—his theory of the tides—was erroneous. Galileo theorized that because of the Earth's motion, borders of the oceans like the Atlantic and Pacific would show one high tide and one low tide per day. The Mediterranean had two high tides and low tides, though Galileo argued that this was a product of secondary effects and that his theory would hold in the Atlantic. However, Galileo's contemporaries noted that the Atlantic also had two high tides and low tides per day, which lead to Galileo omitting this claim from his 1632 Dialogue.^[6]

Newton[edit]

Newton, in the Principia, provided a correct explanation for the tidal force, which can be used to explain tides on a planet covered by a uniform ocean, but which takes no account of the distribution of the continents or ocean bathymetry.^[7]

Laplace[edit]

The dynamic theory[edit]

The dynamic theory of tides describes and predicts the actual real behavior of ocean tides.^[8]

While Newton explained the tides by describing the tide-generating forces and Bernoulli gave a description of the static reaction of the waters on Earth to the tidal potential, the dynamic theory of tides, developed by Pierre-Simon Laplace in 1775,^[9] describes the ocean's real reaction to tidal forces.^[10] Laplace's theory of ocean tides took into account friction, resonance and natural periods of ocean basins. It predicted the large amphidromic systems in the world's ocean basins and explains the oceanic tides that are actually observed.^[11] The equilibrium theory, based on the gravitational gradient from the Sun and Moon but ignoring the Earth's rotation, the effects of continents, and other important effects, could not explain the real ocean tides.^{[12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19]} Since measurements have confirmed the theory, many things have possible explanations now, like how the tides interact with deep sea ridges and chains of seamounts give rise to deep eddies that transport nutrients from the deep to the surface.^[20] The equilibrium tide theory calculates the height of the tide wave of less than half a meter, while the dynamic theory explains why tides are up to 15 meters.^[21] Satellite observations confirm the accuracy of the dynamic theory, and the tides worldwide are now measured to within a few centimeters.^[22][23] Measurements from the CHAMP satellite closely match the models based on the TOPEX data.^[24][25][26] Accurate models of tides worldwide are essential for research since the variations due to tides must be removed from measurements when calculating gravity and changes in sea levels.^[27]

Laplace's tidal equations[edit]

In 1776, Pierre-Simon Laplace formulated a single set of linear partial differential equations, for tidal flow described as a barotropic two-dimensional sheet flow. Coriolis effects are introduced as well as lateral forcing by gravity. Laplace obtained these equations by simplifying the fluid dynamic equations, but they can also be derived from energy integrals via Lagrange's equation.

For a fluid sheet of average thickness D, the vertical tidal elevation ζ, as well as the horizontal velocity components u and v (in the latitudeφ and longitudeλ directions, respectively) satisfy Laplace's tidal equations:^[28]

where Ω is the angular frequency of the planet's rotation, g is the planet's gravitational acceleration at the mean ocean surface, a is the planetary radius, and U is the external gravitational tidal-forcing potential.

William Thomson (Lord Kelvin) rewrote Laplace's momentum terms using the curl to find an equation for vorticity. Under certain conditions this can be further rewritten as a conservation of vorticity.

Tidal analysis and prediction[edit]

Harmonic analysis[edit]

Simplified Harmonic Method Pdf Example

Laplace's improvements in theory were substantial, but they still left prediction in an approximate state. This position changed in the 1860s when the local circumstances of tidal phenomena were more fully brought into account by William Thomson's application of Fourier analysis to the tidal motions as harmonic analysis.

Thomson's work in this field was then further developed and extended by George Darwin, applying the lunar theory current in his time. Darwin's symbols for the tidal harmonic constituents are still used.

Darwin's harmonic developments of the tide-generating forces were later improved when A T Doodson, applying the lunar theory of E W Brown,^[29] developed the tide-generating potential (TGP) in harmonic form, distinguishing 388 tidal frequencies.^[30] Doodson's work was carried out and published in 1921.^[31]

Doodson devised a practical system for specifying the different harmonic components of the tide-generating potential, the Doodson numbers, a system still in use.^[32]

Since the mid-twentieth century further analysis has generated many more terms than Doodson's 388. About 62 constituents are of sufficient size to be considered for possible use in marine tide prediction, but sometimes many fewer can predict tides to useful accuracy. The calculations of tide predictions using the harmonic constituents are laborious, and from the 1870s to about the 1960s they were carried out using a mechanical tide-predicting machine, a special-purpose form of analog computer now superseded in this work by digital electronic computers that can be programmed to carry out the same computations.

Tidal constituents[edit]

Tidal constituents combine to give an endlessly varying aggregate because of their different and incommensurable frequencies: the effect is visualized in an animation of the American Mathematical Society illustrating the way in which the components used to be mechanically combined in the tide-predicting machine. Amplitudes of tidal constituents are given below for six example locations:Eastport, Maine (ME),^[33]Biloxi, Mississippi (MS), San Juan, Puerto Rico (PR), Kodiak, Alaska (AK), San Francisco, California (CA), and Hilo, Hawaii (HI).
