  • The tidal bores of the Qiantang River on the East coast of China are simulated numerically based on the shallow water theory. The governing equations, which were traditionally formulated using water depth, are formulated in terms of water surface level, and the fractional-step method is applied in conjunction with a Godunov-type scheme. In addition, the source terms due to bottom gradient are discretized centrally to exactly balance the flux terms. Our numerical simulation produces tidal bores in excellent agreement with field measurements.

  • Tidal bore is a peculiar nature phenomenon which is caused by the lunar and solar gravitation. Based on the physical characters of tidal bores, in this paper we propose a novel method to model and render this phenomenon, especially the tidal waves in Qiantang estuary. According to Boltzmann equation for tidal waves, we solve it with the novel triangle mesh of Kinectic Flux Vector Splitting (KFVS) mode. Then a method combining a curve forecasting wave and particles model is proposed to render the dynamic scenes of overturning tidal waves. Finally, with some rendering technologies, various realistic tidal waves under diversified conditions is rendered in real time.
