🌊 Tidal Harmonics: Spring-Neap Synthesis and Stream Turbine Power (2D)
Side view of a coast where the sea level is the sum of five tidal constituents, with a tidal-stream turbine on the sea bed beside a tide staff. Set the amplitudes of M2, S2, N2, K1 and O1, the current they drive and the rotor size, and see the spring-neap cycle, the tidal range, the current, and the turbine power from the cubic law with cut-in. A least-squares harmonic analysis, the beat period and the cubic mean are checked numerically, with four in-page numerical checks.
