Scaling of tidal channel parameters for the construction of electronic analogue model.

Propagation of tidal waves in a tidal channel and that of electromagnetic waves in an electrical transmission line are similar, as can be seen by noting the similarities between the differential equations which characterize the two systems. The latter can be used as the analogue model of the former, provided the variables, constants and parameters are properly sealed for the corresponding quantities available in the model. This paper describes the method of scaling to relate the corresponding parameters and variables in the two systems. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
