If the max flow is when the height distance is the greatest, wouldn't
the tide change wave be like a pyramid instead of a sine wave?


Thom
Max flow is most likely when the _rate of change_ of height is fastest.
This is most likely at half tide in the open sea, but there is no firm
rule for this hence my *most likely*. The current due to tides is also
summed with other currents for example.

Nav,

Height is a measurement of distance from a reference point. It isn't a
rate. It is a static measurement. It just doesn't compute. I don't
follow you terminology?

Ole Thom

OK let me put it another way, when the tide height is changing fastest
that is when the maximum flow is more likely to occur. The change in
height is due to a change in volume of water (at a given point). So, if
the volume is chaning faster it must be due to some volume of water
moving away faster?

Does that help?

Cheers

Nav,

Don't you think you are overstating the obvious? The Tide is a dynamic
action of water caused by the moon. The height of the Tide and the Tidal
flow are dependent on one another. The location of the rise in the Tide
is determined by the speed of the earths rotation and the revolving of
the moon. The height of the Tide determined by the Phase of the Moon.
The higher the Tide rise the greater the Tidal Flow

I hope this meets with your approval. I'm very sure we all have
overstated what Scott wanted to know about riding the Tide.

Ole Thom
P/S Donal give him the full point. He gave the answer to the moving
tide, making a tide ride possible

i'm sure you are right but it's interesting to explore the possibilities
is it not? I find it more interesting than guns and GWB (for example).

Cheers

Nav,

Guns and "W" Spare me.
You're absolutely right!

Don't tell that to Doug!
