Abstract

This is an investigation of the physical law governing the interaction of the astronomical tidal constituents which generates the shallow-water tidal constituents, for the simple case of a narrow channel. The solution for both progressive and standing waves, up to the fifth order, is presented. The fluid is supposed non-viscous, and the flow frictionless.
