8 Observation of non-hydrostatic processes Tidal waves Large amplitude spring tide 10 th September 2010 La Reole Pk -67 Bonneton et al., 2011

9 Observation of non-hydrostatic processes Tidal waves Tidal bore: a fascinating hydrodynamic phenomenon observed worldwide Qiantang River China Tidal bore occurrence is strongly underestimated Garonne River see Bonneton et al., 2012, 2014 Kampar River Sumatra (Bono)

10 Observation of non-hydrostatic processes Tidal waves no tidal bore tidal bore ε = T R D 1 Garonne River, Bonneton et al., 2014

11 Observation of non-hydrostatic processes Tidal waves F r = c u gd 1 1 D 1 = A1 A h 1 Low intensity tidal bores Garonne River, Bonneton et al., 2014

12 Observation of non-hydrostatic processes Tidal waves F=1.08 F=1.24 low intensity tidal bore high intensity tidal bore most of the time this phenomenon is ignored in estuaries

13 Observation of non-hydrostatic processes Tidal waves Seine estuary Field site 100 km from the estuary mouth Bonneton et al., 2012

14 Observation of non-hydrostatic processes Tidal waves need to reassess tidal bore occurrence in meso and macro-tidal estuaries worldwide (including Asian & Pacific estuaries) high frequency measurements are required tidal bores play a significant role in estuarine ecosystems

15 Outline Introduction Observation of non-hydrostatic processes tidal wave propagation and tidal bore formation Non-hydrostatic modelling Theoretical background A new approach Validations Conclusion and perspectives
