Fluid dynamics

A wave front travelling up an estuary

In fluid dynamics a tidal bore is a wave or step of water that travels upstream against the current when a strong incoming tide meets a funnel-shaped estuary, a hydraulic jump propagating up the river. Chanson's Current knowledge in tidal bores surveys the turbulent front, its undular or breaking forms, and its ecological and cultural effects. The referent is a propagating free-surface wave characterised by its Froude number and celerity, unrelated to the bored diameter of a cylinder despite the shared spelling.[1][2]

Unit
The speed and height of the upstream-travelling tidal front
Recovery means
Not applicable
Measured by
Characterised by the tidal-bore Froude number, front celerity, and the water-level rise it carries
