On the differential equation for the conventional tide-well system
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 17 April 2009
Abstract
This paper discusses solutions to the differential equation
which governs the height
of the non-dimensional water level inside a conventional tide-well when the corresponding height of the sea-level outside is X(τ). A perturbation solution correct to O(β4), for small β, for the particular case X = sinτ described previously has been extended to O(β6) for any function X(τ) differentiable at least three times. Two special cases, where X(τ) is a single sinusoid and the sum of two sinusoids, are treated in detail.
