Analysis of Calculated Results
From BAWiki
The various mathematical models used do normally generate a great amount of transient results which can be automatically analysed to calculate the following characteristic numbers.

Tidal Characteristic Numbers
- Water level
- Current, Water Transport
- Salinity, Salt Transport
- Suspended Sediments, Suspended Load Transport
- Tracer Load, Tracer Load Transport
- Temperature, Heat Transport
- Bedload
- eff. Bed Shear Stress
- Morphodynamics
Computation of tidal characteristic numbers is only meaningful for tidal waters, where the tide is the dominant process. Gravitational as well as centrifugal forces cause tidal forces on Earth. Some significant causes as well as phenomena are explained in the following animation as well as on the poster:

- poster Gezeiten - Entstehung und Phänomene (in German, 18 MB, PDF file format).

Tidal Energy Transport
Mean transports for the integration period:
(Simple) Extreme Values
- maximum and minimum value (program ABDF)
- maximum, mean and minimum value for variables in UGRID CF NetCDF files, for transient variables time series are printed (program NCAUTO)
