Page liv - ... 17. A tidal bore is formed when the water is so shallow at low water that the first waves of flood tide move with a velocity so much less than that due to the succeeding part of the tidal wave, as to be overtaken by the subsequent waves, or wherever the tide rises so rapidly, and the water on the shore or in the river is so shallow that the height of the first wave of the tide is greater than the depth of the fluid at that place. Hence in deep water vessels are safe from the waves of rivers,...
Page lix - The portion of the stream which sets into Belfast Lough, splits off Grey Point; one portion flowing up towards Garmoyle, while the other bends back along the shore of Bangor, Groomsport, and Orlock, and blends with the general stream which has come on from the Maidens and Blackhead...
Page l - If we compare the mean temperatures of places that differ considerably from each other in latitude, we shall find that the mean values are lower as we proceed north. If we compare the mean temperatures of places having the same latitude, we shall find that the mean value of those situated at the higher level will be less than those at the lower level. If we compare places having the same latitude, we shall find that the mean temperatures of those places situated inland will be higher in the summer...
Page liii - The height of a wave may be indefinitely increased by propagation into a channel which becomes narrower in the form of a wedge, the increased height being nearly in the inverse ratio of the square root of the breadth. 8. If waves be propagated in a channel whose depth diminishes uniformly, the waves will break when their height above the surface of the level fluid becomes equal to the depth at the bottom below the surface. 9. The great waves of translation are reflected from surfaces at right angles...
Page lviii - ... and strong rippling all round the edge, by which the bank may generally be discovered. Beyond this point the streams unite and flow on towards Howth and Lambay, growing gradually weaker as they proceed, until they ultimately expend themselves in a large space of still water situated between the Isle of Man and Carlingford.
Page lv - The former of these observations is exclusive of the height of the wave, and adding six inches to the depth of the fluid in this case, the height of the wave being already added to the depth in (12.), we find that the velocities are nearly proportional to the square roots of the depths, and are nearly equal to the velocities that would be acquired by a heavy body in falling through heights equal to half the depth of the fluid.
Page lvi - From these it is manifest that the depth of the channel, while it modifies the depth of the fluid, affects the velocity of the wave. It was not found that the breadth of the channel produced any similar effect. The...
Page lxxvii - Fourth. — In some places the banks on each side of the river beyond low water mark, where much contracted, were excavated and removed, in order to equalize the currents, by allowing sufficient space for the free passage of the water.
Page lvii - Morecambe bay, a spot remarkable as being the point where the opposite tides coming round the extremities of Ireland terminate. So that it is necessary only to know the times of high and low water at either of these places, to determine the hour when the stream of either tide will commence or terminate in any part of the channel.
Page lv - In the last case the channel was rectangular, and consequently the depth of the fluid was uniform across the whole depth of the channel ; it was next of importance to ascertain what law held in those cases where the depth diminished towards the edges of the channel. For this purpose two channels were selected having the greatest depths in their middle, and diminishing towards the sides. The following are the results : — Greatest depth in the middle of Space described. Velocity of wave, the channel.
