MODELING OF A TIDAL WAVE GENERATING SYSTEM

Basically, tidal wave is the rising of the earth ocean's surface caused by the relative motion of the Earth, Sun and the Moon, which interact via gravitational forces. It arises because the gravitational force exerted on one body by a second body is not constant across its diameter. The side...
