  • Summary

    This chapter derives the at-a-station as well as the downstream hydraulic geometry using the tractive force theory. Here the threshold discharge does not necessarily correspond to the bankfull discharge for at-a-station hydraulic geometry. At a given section, there can be a threshold discharge where the channel is flowing partially. .

  • Summary

    In this chapter, expressions are derived for the tide-generating force and the associated tide-generating potential. The Moon and Sun act as the tide-generating bodies. The declination is introduced followed by an alternative expression for the tide-generating potential in terms of terrestrial coordinates, which serves as a starting point for Chapter 4. The Moon and Sun act as tide-generating bodies; their combined effect is qualitatively shown to result in a spring-neap cycle.
