4.5 m/s
Hydraulic jump in translation # Positive
surge (open channel hydraulics)
2.8-3 m
Flow discontinuity at leading edge of
flood tidal wave
+ Large tidal range > 4-6 m
+ Flood tidal wave amplification
+ Low freshwater level
Tidal bores occur twice (2 times) per day

Numerical data bring new information but …
Numerical issues & challenges
incl.
Boundary shear (!?)
Bed roughness
Sediment transport (scour, deposition, suspension)
Breaking roller
Validation process …

Source: KHEZRI (2014)
Streamline patterns beneath breaking (Top)
and undular (Bottom) bores
Conclusion
Field measurements in tidal bores
Massive challenges…
Intense unsteady turbulent mixing (even in a ‘gentle’ undular bore)
Major sediment processes
suspended sediment flux, longitudinal advection,
vertical & transverse convection
Hydraulic/CFD modelling
technical & economical challenges
poor validation !?!?
No prototype data means no definite validation of any kind of
modelling! (Theoretical, Laboratory, Numerical [CFD] …)
Quality experimental data are the
‘sine qua non’ of validation
no experimental data = means no
validation
