Abstract A tidal bore is a wall of water propagating upstream as the tidal flow turns to rising into an estuary with a tidal range larger than 5 to 6 m and the bathymetry that amplifies the tidal wave. The bore front is a shock characterised by a singularity of the free-surface and pressure and velocity fields. This study aims to characterise the impact of tidal bores on the turbulent dispersion of fish eggs. Some physical modelling was performed based upon a Froude similitude and the tracking of plastic beads acting as fish egg proxies was conducted under controlled flow conditions… More >
